Tom – thanks for drifting by. Yes, you must visit us while we are here sometime – December-February is a good time to be in the Kingdom. My first trip here was in 96′ and I’ve been coming at least once most years subsequently. This is generally my one computer and utter downtime trip for the year – lots of eating and drinking (various alcohols, I’m actually highly anticipating starting my first Spy Wine Cooler of the day in a few moments) and general relaxation in hammocks. No wine or travel business. And of course for us to visit with my wife’s family.

However, this year my good friend Emil Tedeschi of Tedeschi Vineyards founder of both his Maui and Napa properties will be arriving – his first time to Thailand. I’ve instructed him to fill his suitcase with bottles of Napa wine for additional merriment opportunities at the village (with our fried bugs and grilled rice rats that we catch – both caught using home made traps).
