Pacific Crimson - Forget Me Not
by Edward Patterson
The Last Lash is a tale about a spirited adolescent girl's struggle against an abusive father. The story dramatizes the ways in which the girl's reactions to the abuse r eshape family relationships. The climax occurs when, to avoid a beating, the girl runs away in the midst of a raging snow storm. The police of four states searc for her. When she returns, the father has an agonizing reappraisal. He vows never to hit another person. And he never does.
The story is inspired by real life events.
When I saw that look on his face, I knew just what was coming. His eyes grew wide and the veins on his forehead looked like they�d burst through his skin. Then he charged like a bull after a matador. This time, my kid brother Charlie was his target. �God damn goniff, God damn goniff,� he roared as he threw Charlie to the floor and kicked and kicked�at his ribs and sides and thighs. Charlie�s shrieks rang out��I�ll be good�I�ll never steal again�.I promise�oh, dad, stop.�
Mom and I rushed to my bedroom and clutched the curtains to hold us steady. My heart was pumping so fast I was afraid it would crack open. I felt every kick as if it was landing on my ribs, every one of Charlie�s shrieks as if they came from the pit of my belly.
I was just two when Charlie was born, and before long, we were like one. He was my shadow. And I, his protector, like the time I wrestled Fatso Fred to the ground and made him say �uncle� for teasing Charlie about being fathered by mom�s roll in the hay with the postman. Charlie was touchy on that subject, wondering if he was adopted, with his blond hair and blue eyes when the rest of us had dark hair and eyes. His next scream made me feel like a slime ball. I should protect him now when he needs it most. But I couldn�t lift a finger. I was too damn scared.
A cold chill shook my spine when Charlie went suddenly silent while I could still hear dad kicking him. Oh, how I hated him, how I wished he�d disappear into the ground and leave us alone forever. No, no, I couldn�t wish my father dead. That made me as hateful as him. �He�s gonna kill him, kill him,� I cried out to mom. She didn�t say a word, but slipped to the floor in a helpless heap.
I don�t know how long it lasted. It seemed like hours but was probably only a few minutes. Yet, even a few minutes was a helluva long time for a six-foot tall, burly man to maul a skinny, ten-year-old boy. I was about to check on Charlie when he stumbled into my room and fell on my bed shaking from neck to toe. Mom and I hurried to his side. �Are you all right?� she asked.
He bobbed his head, meaning yes, while sucking in great gobs of air, probably trying to find enough wind to talk. Finally, in a voice that trembled, he said, �I shouldn�t have done it, I should have known better.�
�You didn�t do one thing that makes it okay for him to whack you like that, I said.
His voice rose. �But I was bad, very bad.�
I touched my lips to his forehead. �If you�re bad, then I�m worse, for I�m the cause of all this.�
Charlie kept shaking his head from side to side. To Charlie, I could do no wrong, even if it was something illegal, like this morning when I swiped a valentine from Walgreen�s. �Cool,� he said as he tried his luck. It wasn�t that he just imitated me. I encouraged him to steal, told him it was easy. I wanted him to experience the fun in getting away with something, in sticking his tongue out at the rules. Only thing is, I knew enough to steal a small valentine that fit in my jacket pocket.. He pinched one so big it hung out six inches below his jacket where he�d tried to hide it. I was about to tell him to put it back when a man wearing a pin-striped suit and a black and white striped tie grabbed Charlie�s arm and pulled him into his office at the back of the store. My heart racing, I followed them and put my ear close to the wall of the office. �Who�s in your gang, kid?� �I don�t got a gang,� I knew Charlie would never finger me. He�d seen the same gangster movies I had where ratting was the biggest crime of all. �Come on, kid, if you don�t tell me who�s in your gang, you�ll go to jail.� I thought I smelled Charlie�s fear through the wall when he named my two boyfriends, Skinny and Stevie. �Okay, kid, I�ll let you go this time.�
Charlie looked like a ghost when he staggered out of that office. When I caught up with him outside the store, thinking of the old James Cagney film I�d seen recently on TV, I told him, �Charlie, you gotta tell Skinny and Stevie you finked on them.� He didn�t question my advice, and we set off for Stevie�s apartment, just around the corner from ours. There, we found Skinny and Stevie together on their knees fixing a bike tire. They jumped up to greet us. Stevie , a year older than me, but already a head taller, had a nose shaped like a light bulb and a purple mole his ear. He was my main boyfriend, the one I kissed, hard kisses that made me tingle. Sometimes we goosed each other. That was more fun than the kisses. Skinny looked like Tyrone Power and was also smart, smartest kid in my class. But I didn�t know him very well. He was new in the neighborhood and only started hanging around me a couple weeks ago. Boy, did those two have different reactions to Charlie�s confession. Stevie brushed it off. �Forget it, Charlie. Plenty of other drug stores in Chicago.� But Skinny squeezed his grey green eyes into slits and in a tight voice, said, �I�m gonna teach you a lesson, Charlie, what it feels like to be finked on,� and he made a beeline for our place, Charlie and I right behind him. He rang our back doorbell until mom opened up. Charlie and I scurried inside, but Skinny stayed on the porch, and talking loud enough for the neighbors to hear, said, �Your son�s a god damn thief, just got caught stealing from Walgreen�s.� �Shhh,� mom said, �Don�t want Max to hear.� My dad was a Rumanian Jew, real prickly about his people being the butt of goniff jokes. That�s why he makes such a fuss about honesty. Skinny opened his mouth to say more, but mom shushed him again. Only she was too late. Dad heard, rushed into the kitchen like a cyclone, yanked Charlie into the front room and sailed into him.
I knew I was special to dad, for he spent more time with me than ever with Charlie, but he also beat me more often. And when he lit into me, I never made a sound, to show him I was as tough as him, even though the muscles in my chest and stomach were knotted in fear. Afterwards, I�d let loose, muffling sobs in my pillow, and then feeling scummy for being such a weakling. Other bad feelings followed that one. Like shame, not for having done something bad, the way Charlie felt, but from fear I�d be disgraced if others heard the ruckus and knew there was something rotten in my family. Yet, that fear wasn�t even the worst of it. It was my rage, rage that my dad treated me as if I was lower than a dog, lower than a turd, lower than a worm. I tried to shuck off the feeling, but it clung to me like a barnacle to a rock. I�d get lost in day dreams about getting back at him, doing things like putting dried horse manure in his pipe tobacco or limburger cheese in the pocket of his suit jacket. I actually did one of the things I dreamed about. On his birthday, I gave him an expensive pipe that I�d stolen from Walgreen�s. I pictured myself gloating over having put one over on him, but when tears filled his eyes and he gave me a bear hug, I felt like a piece of shit.
He last fell on me a month ago, right after my period started. He found the stolen lipsticks I�d stashed in the little steel box behind his bedroom light switch. And then came at me like a maniac, those blue veins throbbing on his brow, cursing and kicking. This time my anger exploded in my head and I swore he�d never again lay a hand on me, never again.
When dad would go crazy, mom would pale and cry and wring her hands, but never try to stop him. How could she? She was so small, standing no higher than his shoulder, and all skin and bones. He had never hit her, but we all knew anything could happen when he lost control. Still, I wished she was braver. I think she wished it, too. Why else would she smile when I�d break the rules by skipping school or organizing a sit-down strike in my gym class? Remembering that smile, I decided to say something after he lit into Charlie. Dad had gone for a walk and mom and I were alone in the kitchen. �We should call the police,� I said in a stout voice.
The hair on her arms stood on end. �What a thing to say. You want he should go to jail, you want he should lose his business, his family?�
As soon as the words were out of her mouth, I knew she was right. Either the police would do nothing, so why call them, or they�d do something that would make life worse for all of us. There was nothing more to say. I started to leave when mom touched my arm, and said, �It�s just that, well, I don�t think he can help it. His bad temper, it�s inherited from his father.� She let out a sigh that seemed to come up from her toes, and then went over to the sink and began to peel carrots for dinner. No matter what was going on, mom never neglected our stomachs. She went to great lengths to make every dinner like a Sunday feast. .
As soon as dad returned from his walk, mom called us in to dinner. I was still upset, but that didn�t stop my mouth from watering at the sight of rare lamb, rice pilaf, roasted carrots with almonds, and apple and celery salad.
I gazed at dad sitting before me, quiet and dignified, slowly unfolding his napkin and resting his brown eyes on mom, probably to show appreciation of the meal. He�s two different people, I thought, He�s the father who holds me on his lap while telling me stories about his early life in Rumania�promenading with his father to the ice cream parlor on Sunday afternoons, clutching the hand of his older brother as the two of them boarded a ship for this country, leaving school in the sixth grade to apprentice to a tailor. He�s the father who took me to my first ballet, introduced me to the aquarium and Museum of Science and Industry, bought me a fur coat despite mom�s warning that we couldn�t afford it. He made the light shine in my eyes and a warmth curl around my heart, this father, this same father who had just beaten the living shit out of my kid brother.
We were usually talkative at dinner, but this night we ate in silence until mom served desert, dad�s favorite�pineapple upside down cake. Then dad started a joke. I knew he was going to tell one by the sing song tone of his voice and his drawing out the last part of words. �Tooodayyyyy, a schlemiel walks into the factory, looks around like he owns the place, glances at me standing at the cutting table, and says, �so, what do you do around here, fella?� I say: �my job is to lead people down this aisle--I stretched out my arm and pointed�and tell them, this way to the crapper.� You should have seen that schlemiel hot foot it out of there.� He laughed, then stopped suddenly when he noticed our grim silence. He looked at mom. She blinked her eyes and her lip quivered but she managed to speak up. �Max, if you ever hit another child of mine, I�m leaving you.�
My heart jumped into my throat. She�d never said anything like that before. Would we leave him forever, never see him again? Where would we live? How would she pay the rent? She didn�t know how to do anything other than housework and play bridge and organize bake sales for the Temple. She didn�t have any rich relatives either. He�d have to support us, but then he�d know where we were and he�d come there and God knows what temper he�d be in then.
He didn�t say a word, but tamped tobacco into the bowl of his pipe, lit it, took a long draw, blew smoke toward the light fixture on the ceiling, and then went to his easy chair in the living room and opened the Tribune.
Our house was peaceful for a weeks after that, well into March when something set him off again. Stevie and I had been ice skating on a pond next to Lake Michigan when he grabbed my hand and said, �you gotta come over tonight. Folks�ll be gone. And a couple neighbor kids are bringing over a batch of books, too dirty to be sold in stores. It�ll be a blast. You gotta come.�
�Can�t. Not allowed out on school nights except for scout meetings.�
He jabbed my side. �You a scaredy-cat?�
That did it. I was no sissy. I�d find a way to get out. I searched my brain for an idea, and finally lit on one that worked. Told my folks there was a special scout meeting that night, called to get ready for our award ceremony next month.� They didn�t question me, and right after dinner I ran over to Stevie�s, excited at the thought of doing something I wasn�t supposed to.
I didn�t know what those books would be like, but I was sort of shocked when I saw pictures of comic book characters doing stuff to each other, Little Orphan Annie sucking Popeye�s thingamajig. I didn�t want the others to think I was chicken liver, so I looked at the pictures, but I squeezed my eyes nearly shut so I couldn�t make them out. The others maybe felt the same as me, for they didn�t say a word while they continued to turn the pages. And Stevie, he cast his eyes down when I glanced his way.
When I got home, it was about 9:00 o�clock, I went into the front room to say goodnight to mom and dad. And my breath caught in my throat. He had that look--the bloodshot eyes, the vein on his brow throbbing. �I�m gonna beat the bejesus out of her,� he said to mom.
�It�s late, Max, wait until morning,� mom said, pulling me toward my bedroom. Once there, she explained what had happened. My cousin Betty, who was in my scout troop, had come over to play with me. When dad told her I was at a scout meeting, Betty shook her head. �There�s no scout meeting tonight. I oughta know. Our scout leader lives in my building, and she was out in front making a snow man with her son all evening.�
My mind was bobbing like a Halloween apple. Had mom forgotten her promise to leave him if he ever hit one of us again? Had he forgotten? Whatever, one thing I knew. I wasn�t going to be there to receive his blows. I�d leave the house before he got up. I sighed with that resolution, but only for a moment. My chest felt heavy when I thought about Charlie, how deserted and alone he�d feel. Would it be worse for him with me gone? Would dad take it out on him? How could I be so hard hearted? But did I have a choice? My being home didn�t protect him. Besides, dad might learn a lesson from having driven me away. Maybe running away is the only protection I can offer Charlie. Yes, I�m going. With that settled, I began to watch the clock to make sure I was gone before his alarm went off at 7:00.I was too excited to sleep anyhow. I started to picture places I could run to. I imagined going to my aunt in Gary, but dad would find me, bring me home, and then God knows what he�d do to me. Relatives were definitely out. I felt stumped until I remembered Stevie telling me his plan to run away as soon as his broken leg healed. I realized he�d been riding his bike lately so his leg must be okay.
I got up at 6:30 and crept around my room while dressing in two sets of underwear and my heavy wool snow suit. Then I tiptoed to the back door, opened it very slowly so it wouldn�t creak, and made my way to Stevie�s. At first, I waited n the shelter of his doorway. But boy, I got cold. My ears hurt and a film formed in my nostrils. I left the doorway and ran back and forth between his building and the corner until it began to snow, and then I raced back to his doorway.
I was hugging myself against the cold and wet when he came out. Was he surprised to see me. His eyebrows shot up nearly in the shape of a question mark. You�d think I�d been smoking the way the steam poured out of my mouth when I talked. �My dad�s gonna beat the crap out of me when he sees me. But I swear he�ll never hit me again.�
�How�ll you stop him?�
�Run away?�
A smile spread across Stevie�s face. �Yo, Jenny. When do you go? Today?�
I nodded. �Right after school when I round up some money.�
�Where will you go?�
I stopped walking and looked into Stevie�s eyes. �That�s the thing. I don�t know.�
He laughed so hard he had to hold his sides. When he finally stopped, he cleared his throat and spoke in his deepest voice, �Never gets cold in Texas.� He looked at me for a reaction, and seeing none, went on. �Plenty of horses there.� And then his eyes lit up. �I fall asleep at night thinking about riding horses in Texas. Hey, wanna go?�
My imagination went wild. I pictured Stevie and me racing on horseback over deserts and into mountains, stopping by clear blue lakes to catch fish and build a fire, bedding down under the stars. My pulse races just watching John Wayne do all these things in a movie. And now, to think we�ll be doing them ourselves. It was my turn to laugh. �I�m ready, and how!� But I sobered quickly. �How do we get there? We�ll need money. I don�t have any. Do you?�
There was a sparkle in his eyes and he sounded as excited as I felt. He thrust out his leg, the one that had been broken. �Strong enough to pedal you all the way there on my bike. We�ll leave soon�s school�s out.�
I looked up at the snow falling heavier now. �How long will it take to get to Texas?�
�Jenny, stop worrying. I�ve worked everything out, made a map of the way there, marked places to stop and clean up and maybe earn something delivering groceries.�
I can�t remember anything that happened that day in school. But when school let out my heart began to sing. First, I went to see my cousin, Betty. �Hey, I need money in a hurry. No questions please. Just give me whatever you have.�
She put her hands on her hips. �You�ll have to tell me why.�
�Can�t. But I promise you�ll know before this day ends. Now hurry.�
�Why the mystery?�
�Betty, it�s an emergency. Please.�
I had managed to scare her and she hurried into her mothers bedroom, took the blue Hadassah bank from the dresser and shook out the coins. Only two dimes and a nickel came out. I went over and shook the bank but it was clearly empty. �Sorry,� she said as she handed me those few coins.�
But she�d given me an idea. I�d get the coins from mom�s Hadassah bank. I raced home, relieved that she was gone, and shook her bank and shook it again. Nothing. Then I remembered, this was the day of her Hadassah meeting; she�d taken the money from the bank with her. I was beginning to feel frenzied. I checked the top of dad�s dresser, hoping he�d forgotten to pick up the coins he emptied there from his pocket before bed, but there were none. Forget it, I told myself. Mom could show up at any minute, I�d better get out of here. I hurried to the linen closet, lifted down the heaviest wool blanket, rolled it up, and tied it with cord. I looked longingly at my sheep lined slippers but decided they were too bulky to take. I checked the time--4:00 o�clock. Quickly, I filled my jacket pockets with two cans of baked beans, four small cans of tomato juice, a can opener, two spoons, and a box of matches. Rushed as I felt, I took time to take one last look around, at things I loved and would never see again---my bookcase with my stereo player on top and shelves filled with my tapes and disks and games and collections of movie magazines; my closet with my royal blue rayon party dress and patent leather shoes, my Sunday organdy dress, jeans and plaid skirts and turtle neck sweaters for school; the ruffled pillow cases on my bed, Raggedy Ann and Andy sitting atop them. I crinkled my nose to hold back tears and ran out of there, carrying my loot to Stevie�s. After tying the blanket onto the rear of his bike and stuffing the rest into the basket in front, we set out. .
It was growing dark, still snowing and cold as the inside of a food freezer. �Where will we sleep?� I asked.
�Cousin Jeff�s.� He lives alone and has a workroom in his basement with a big bed. He�s a good guy, won�t give us any trouble.�
My heart picked up some beats, imagining sleeping next to Stevie all night. I was sure he didn�t have anything bad in mind. All the times we lay next to each other, his hands were never tempted by my flat chest. And they never roamed below that except to goose me.
�Can we stay here?,� Stevie asked his cousin right off. Jeff winked, led us to the basement, and disappeared. I hugged myself to ward off the cold, clammy feeling in that small, dark room. The only light was over the workshop table against the wall opposite the bed. There was a small window partly hidden by a tattered curtain, and an electric heater and portable toilet near the bed..
Sitting on the edge of the bed next to Stevie, mom�s blanket wrapped snugly around our shoulders, I couldn�t think of a thing to say. Stevie couldn�t either. After a while I asked him if he was scared.
He shook his head. �Not thinking about that. Thinking about my stomach growling.�
�I�m hungry, too.�
�How about chocolate sodas and Hershey bars?� he said.
�Cool. How much money do we have?�
�I don�t have a red cent.�
�Oh Jesus, this is it, then, I said as I handed him the nickel and two dimes. He bounded out of there like a chased hare.
Still hungry after eating the candy bars he�d brought back with him, I opened a can of beans. Cold beans�yuk! But we ate both cans. Then, there was nothing to do but go to bed. We kept our clothes on, but it was still cold under the comforter, I moved as close to Stevie as I could get. We began to kiss, one kiss after another, each one harder than the last. And something else got hard, between his legs, but we were used to that and he turned his back to me. He was breathing hard and I figured it was coming out in his pants. But he�d done that before, and then gone to sleep. And so he did this night. I lay there, listening to the soft purr of his breathing and watching snowflakes drift onto the window pane until I fell asleep.
I woke with a start. It must be dawn, I thought, noticing the dim rays of the early morning sun in the window. I was in a panic, sure I�d gone crazy. The only thing on my mind had been getting away from dad. But what have I done to my mom? She goes nuts if I�m a half hour late from a scout meeting. She must have had a hemorrhage last night when I disappeared in a snowstorm. And Charlie? I always told him everything and I disappeared from his life without a word. How alone and scared he must be feeling. I was a bird brain thinking Stevie and I could bike day after day through snow storms with no place to sleep, no supplies, no money. We were sure to starve to death or freeze to death. �Stevie,� I shouted, �we�ve got to go home.�
He bolted upright, dug sleep gunk from the corners of his eyes, farted, and then opened his eyes wide. �Say again.�
�We�re crazy. We�ll never make it. We�ll die on the way. And we�re worrying our folks to death. We�ve gotta go home.�
He didn�t need convincing, probably having come to the same conclusion himself. �Then let�s hurry, before the kids call for us at school. I don�t want them to know; they�ll tease the living daylights outa me.�
After peeing in the portable toilet, we stuffed ourselves into our jackets, grabbed our gear, cleaned the snow from the bike, then jumped on and rode toward home. Stevie stopped at a redlight, near a newspaper stand. �Oh my God,� I yelled when I saw the front page of the Trib. A lead article, titled Chicago�s Youngest Elopers, featured pictures of the two of us. I read the first line: �the police from three states are searching for two twelve year olds who eloped last night.�
�What have we done?� I kept repeating as Stevie pedaled faster and faster. We didn�t say a word to each other when he dropped me off. I ran up the stairs and through the back door. Mom was sitting hunched at the kitchen table over an uneaten bowl of oatmeal. I�d read about this in stories but had never seen it�her hair had turned gray overnight. I ran over, dropped down to my knees, put my head in her lap, and wept. She gave me a push. �Go to the phone and call your father at the factory..�
I was flooded by rage. The police from three states are hunting for me and he went to work. I felt like saying, piss on him, but instead, not wanting to cause her any more trouble, I did as she asked. �Hello dad, it�s me.�
In a voice as tight as a drum, he said, �Why did you do it?�
�Because I�m afraid of you.�
I heard him gasp. Was this news to him? Was he really unaware that his violence scared us? �I�ll see you tonight,� he said, ending the conversation.
After dinner that evening and for the next two, he sat in his easy chair, without reading or speaking, just smoking his pipe and thinking. At the dinner table on the fourth evening, he wiped his mouth after finishing his strawberry short cake, and made a pronouncement: �As long as I live, I�ll never hit another human being.�
And he never did.

Commitments to the LGBT community in the 2013 Budget
President Obama laid out a blueprint in his State of the Union address for an economy that's built to last – an economy built on American manufacturing, American energy, skills for American workers, and a renewal of American values. The President released a budget that illustrates how we put that blueprint to work for all Americans, including lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) Americans.
Yesterday in his message to Congress, the President explained that we are in a make-or-break moment for the middle class, and for all those who are fighting to get there. The Budget targets scarce federal resources to the areas critical to growing the economy and restoring middle-class security: education and skills for American workers, innovation and manufacturing, clean energy, and infrastructure. It is built around the idea that our country does best when everyone gets a fair shot, everyone does their fair share, and everyone plays by the same rules.
To construct an economy that is built to last while providing opportunity and security for the LGBT community and people living with HIV/AIDS, the 2013 Budget will:
- Strengthen Anti-Discrimination Enforcement.
- Support Federal Employee Domestic Partner Benefits.
- Combat Hate Crimes.
- Support Equal Rights for Hospital Visitation.
- Support the National HIV/AIDS Strategy (NHAS) and Expand Investments in Prevention, Care, and Research.
- Expand the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program.
- Support Housing Assistance for People Living with HIV/AIDS.
- Combat Violence and the Bullying of Children.
- Support the President's Ambitious Goals to Address Global AIDS.

The 2011 Tablas Creek Vineyard Picpoul Blanc (also known as Piquepoul or Piquepoul Blanc in France) is Tablas Creek's fifth bottling of this traditional Southern Rhône varietal, used in Châteauneuf du Pape as a blending component, and best known from the crisp light green wines of the Pinet Region in the Coteaux de Languedoc. Literally translating to "lip stinger", in France the grape is known for its bright acidity, its minerality, and a clean lemony flavor. We have found that in California, it maintains its bright acidity, but also develops an appealing tropical lushness.
Picpoul Blanc was the first supplementary varietal we brought into the country after the initial eight varietals. It went into quarantine in 1996, and was released in 1998. The first vines went into the ground in 2000. We are so excited about the varietal that in the winter of 2005-2006 we tripled our planted acreage (from 1 to 3 acres).
Our Picpoul grapes were grown on our 120-acre certified organic estate vineyard.
The 2011 vintage was our second consecutive winter with healthy rainfall, but yields were dramatically reduced by two nights of frost on April 8th and 9th. Despite the low crop loads, ripening was slow due to a very cool summer, and harvest roughly three weeks later than normal, beginning in mid-September and not concluding until mid-November. Warm, sunny weather during harvest allowed the later-ripening varieties to reach full maturity. The long hangtime and low yields combined to produce fruit with notable richness balanced by higher than usual acidity, all at low alcohol levels. Our Picpoul was harvested on October 19th and 27th.
The Picpoul grapes were whole cluster pressed, and fermented using native yeasts in stainless steel to maintain its freshness. It completed malolactic fermentation in tank, and was bottled in May 2012.
The 2011 Picpoul Blanc shows expressive aromas of pineapple, white flowers, grilled citrus and caramel. In the mouth it is brightly acidic with flavors of pina colada broadened by a hint of toast, a lush texture surprising for those who only know Picpoul from France, then reverting to brightness on a lemony, mineral-laced finish.

Since 2007, we have made our En Gobelet exclusively from dry-farmed, head-trained vineyard blocks. The results have been so compelling that we're planning to plant our entire new parcel -- all 55 acres -- in this style over the coming decade. Join us for this vertical tasting of every vintage of En Gobelet, from the 2007 to the newly-blended 2014. We'll also offer, before the tasting, an optional hike led by Viticulturist Levi Glenn through the rugged Scruffy Hill block from which we source most of the wine, and finish with a picnic lunch on our patio. $60 for wine club members and $75 for guests. Reservations are essential; we expect this to sell out. To reserve, email us at email@example.com or call us at 805.237.1231 ext 30. Details & More Events »

In August, Antonio Galloni published the results of his annual visit to Tablas Creek, and we were excited to receive such good reviews from this notoriously tough grader. Notes included the 2012 Esprit de Tablas Blanc (92 points; "impeccably refined"), 2011 Panoplie (94 points; "pure elegance"), 2012 Patelin de Tablas (90 points; "a gorgeous wine and a fabulous value"), and the 2012 Esprit de Tablas (93-95 points; "a fascinating Esprit to follow over the coming years").

I had the distinct pleasure of tagging along last week on a trade visit to the Perrin family's holdings in the Rhone Valley. Our odyssey began with our thirsty quintet of wine professionals packed into an undersized rental car like foie gras terrine as we traversed from Dijon to Valence. I sat shotgun with GPS in hand and snails in my belly as we watched the landscape change from the sunflowers and Charolais beef pastures of Burgundy to the lavender fields and olive groves of the Rhone.

Your Well Being And Taxes
A couple of things threaten your well-being like the harassment and anxiety of relentless tax issues. Most people make 3 mistakes that get them in trouble with the IRS. They hesitate. They try to represent themselves. They work with sub-par representation and now are in MORE requirement of aid than before.
These are the sort of services a Tax Attorney can offer: Offer in Compromise Cases, Penalty Abatement Petitions, Complete Audit Representations Business Method Sessions. Preparation and Filing of Income tax return. Settle taxes for Pennies on the Dollar owed, Stop Internal Revenue Service wage and bank levies (garnishments), Have actually building liens raised, get inexpensive installation agreements, Submit bankruptcy versus the IRS, Have penalties and interest forgiven, Lower taxes by running out the IRS' time to collect. Offer in Compromise: Settle your taxes for Cents on the Dollar owed Professional law workplaces can help get you a favorable settlement with a skilled IRS tax lawyer. The Internal Revenue Service' Offer in Compromise program allows taxpayers to settle their tax financial obligation.
Exactly what is an IRS offer in compromise?
It settles your tax liability for less than the total owed, supplying you can prove you do not have the capability to pay. Based upon just how much you can pay for, you really can pay "Pennies on the Dollar Owed" in taxes. If it is done properly – this alternative could save you a massive quantity of money, and is the best method for the majority of taxpayers. You need to take severe care. You should hire an expert with expertise of the IRS' procedures. This expert need to figure out the least amount that the Internal Revenue Service will accept from you. If the Offer is not sent properly it will be rejected, or you may be needed to pay more than is necessary.
An Offer in Compromise might conserve you a LARGE amount of cash. Do you understand that the Internal Revenue Service just has a limited time to collect your back taxes? Let an Expert Tax Attorney identify when the Internal Revenue Service' time limit to gather taxes runs out. In many cases the Internal Revenue Service has only a limited time to collect the unpaid taxes. You should CAREFULLY assess exactly when that time period will certainly run out. Your problems may be fixed. and furthermore: If the IRS' time has actually run out, or if it will certainly run out quickly, your problems may be over.
Postponing techniques might be used to stall the Internal Revenue Service while their time runs out. Once the Internal Revenue Service is out of time, they MUST stop ALL collection action against you.
The Internal Revenue Service MUST release all apartment liens
Many individuals fail to file Individual Income Tax Returns for a variety of reasons. Some reasons are innocent, although the most common is that people cannot pay for to pay the taxes.
When this occurs it ends up being difficult to get back into the system. "I applied for 1998. I could not spend for 2000, so I did not file. Then I was afraid to declare 2001. I haven't filed ever since. What can I do now?".
If you do not file Income Tax Returns you dedicate a crime. Nevertheless, nobody who has actually willingly filed back returns before being caught has ever been criminally prosecuted. That is the very first secret: filing BEFORE they capture you.
IRS Penalties.
Some Internal Revenue Service penalties can be as high as 100 % to 150 % of the original taxes owed. Even if you could pay the taxes owed, the additional fines will certainly make it impossible to pay off the whole balance.
The Internal Revenue Service enforces penalties to punish taxpayers and keep them in line. The Internal Revenue Service does forgive charges. Before you pay the Internal Revenue Service any penalty amounts, you might want to consider asking for the IRS to not penalize you because it had not been your fault.read more

After getting almost nothing but C's for the past few regular semesters and then passing the two classes I retook over the summer with A-'s, I wondered what made the huge difference. Now I know for certain. The difference was that the summer session was shorter than a regular semester, so during that session, I was assigned homework every other day. Because of that, I was forced to do the homework on the day it was assigned or at the latest the next day to get it in on time. That also forced

Edward Hughes Pruden was born on August 30, 1903 in Chase City, Virginia. He was educated at the University of Richmond, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Yale University, and he received his Ph.D. from the University of Edinburgh. From 1936 to 1969 Reverend Pruden pastored the First Baptist Church in Washington, D.C. In that capacity, he preached frequently with President Truman in attendance. An active leader in many Baptist organizations, Pruden also served on the board of trustees at the University of Richmond. He died in April 1987.
Reverend Pruden begins and ends his sermon on race relations with an emphasis on humility; with it, God's will can become manifest. Pruden also notes that a preacher, at "his best," is a prophet of God. And while he does not explicitly claim this mantle, Pruden's appeals to humility, his background as a southerner, and his duty to God cultivate a credibility that even southern audiences might find hard to resist. Pruden reminds his listeners of five things: first, the Christian concept of man emphasizes human dignity and the sacredness of every personality, including men, women and children; second, religion requires that we embrace high ideals; third, it is not easy being a Christian, as Paul reminds us; fourth, it is impossible to put ourselves in another's place; and finally, as Paul found out, citizenship has its privileges, and our laws can guarantee human rights even if they cannot change the human heart.
First Baptist Church, Washington, D.C.
1959 (reprinted)
The subject with which we are dealing this morning is one which arouses deep emotional responses. We should therefore approach it in that spirit of love and humility to which Paul refers when he wrote: "For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith" (Romans 12:3); and "Do nothing from selfishness or conceit, but in humility count others better than yourselves" (Philippians 2:3).
I have no desire to be controversial. As is the case with most people, I much prefer to be affable and agreeable; to say the thing that will be acceptable to the largest possible number of people. That is human nature! The minister of Jesus Christ at his best, however, must be the prophet of God, and therefore is not at liberty to follow his own inclinations. He must study the current scene carefully and prayerfully, and then attempt by all possible means to bring the will of God to bear upon all contemporary problems.
The Church of Christ cannot afford to be silent amidst turmoil and discord. The question we ask this morning is the question Zedekiah, the
