Don't Think We're in Kansas Anymore

BIRMINGHAM, AL-April 16 Another early start, back on the road by 6 to cover 350 miles before lunch. Our destimation is Plaza III, which has been recognized as one of the top steakhouses in the country. Another quick change in the restroom...I'm getting very good at this. We had a good turnout among the trade. It was a standup affair with hors d'oeuvres and dessert served in the main dining room and roast beef sandwiches and Caeser Salad in another room along with our three big reds, the Alexander School Cabernet, CYRUS and the Redemption Zin

A couple of hours later and we were headed for a winemaker dinner at Rock House, a two-year-old restaurant in Birmingham's Lakeview area. The place is a converted old house consisting of several small rooms and our event filled several of them. That made addressing the whole group difficult, so Hank, myself and Arnold (our sales manager down here) spent the evening visiting individual tables. Another very good, but very long day.
