We arrived at Alex’s house full of cheer as we had not all seen each other since Houston, even Sparrow came out to say hello.  Capt. John started off the festivities by presenting each person with a glass of bubbly.  He selected a nice 2008 Riva Ranch Chardonnay from  the Wente Vineyards. Founded more than 125 years ago, Wente Vineyards is the country’s oldest, continuously operated family-owned winery and it's almost in Alex and John's backyard.  

For those of us who enjoy something non-alcholic, we took a sip of Martinellis' Sparkling Apple-Pomegranate cider.  Alex told us that pomegranate juice is supposed to provide all kinds of benefits to our health,  so John suggested that we should toast to "A Happy and Healthy Holidays for all."  We celebrated a bit more, and gave another toast to member 50,000 of our TQS family.

Lilo and Ruth were enjoying Alex's lovely decorations, but Ricky and Justin's tummies got growly so after bidding Sparrow a "good night" our merry group headed off to Ruth's house for nibbly's and soup.
