"DINNER WITH BOB LONG"
and
The Wines of Long Vineyards
...at POSTO

Dear Wine Associates:

Happy New Year! We hope you had a wonderful holiday. We are delighted to kick off our events of 2003 as we present "DINNER WITH BOB LONG AND THE WINES OF LONG VINEYARDS . . . at POSTO." Bob's lovely wife, PAT, will also be joining us for this special evening and we know you will enjoy Bob's & Pat's company along with their delicious wines. So please mark your calendar for Wednesday, January 22, 2003, and reserve your place!

LONG VINEYARDS, established over 25 years ago, is a gorgeous property situated on the eastern side of St. Helena atop Pritchard Hill overlooking Lake Hennessey. Bob, his Partner Zelma Long and Winemaker Sandi Belcher have produced some of California's greatest wines - from their superb estate-grown Chardonnays, Johannisberg Rieslings and Cabernet Sauvignons to their creative Italian varietals.

The Long Vineyards Chardonnays are known for their elegance, finesse and long ageability. Even 20-year-old bottles have shown well in vertical tastings of these Chardonnays. Since 1994, the Long Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignons have been produced from grapes grown on their hillside estate and have become the "talk of the town," being rated highly by wine publications and web sites. This evening, we will have the opportunity to preview their new 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon and also enjoy the more mature 1995 edition.

Long Vineyards was one of the first wineries in Napa Valley to produce the California-grown Italian varietals of Pinot Grigio and Sangiovese. What a treat it will be to serve them with our Italian menu. As for the Botrytis Johannisberg Riesling, produced only in years when the "noble rot" affects the grapes, it is always sweet and scrumptious and always in demand.

Our delectable dinner menu has been designed by Posto's Proprietor Piero Selvaggio and Executive Chef Steve Samson to complement the wonderful Long Vineyards wines. This is certain to be an evening of delightful food, delightful wines and delightful company.
