BBQs and STDs

Save the Dates, DUH.

Before we tell you where you can stay, we wanted to share with you how much fun we had making our Save the Dates. We hope you like them! We hope they are posted on the fridge or propped up on your nightstand (purrrr). We hope you have dedicated a countdown calendar. 328 days... 327... 326...

We found the most incredible butcher shop in a nearby neighborhood, and they make a homemade BBQ sauce that's to die for (sampled on your Save the Dates) that we're hoping makes it onto the Big Day menu.

We're roasting a whole pig, and the rest of our menu will be local, seasonal and outdoor BBQ-themed. We're in the process of finding a caterer, which should be fun... SHOULD be...

Maps are Good

Look! Isn't it fantastic how it looks, from this map, like the venue is literally in the middle of nowhere?! In fact, Richard's Grove at Saralee's Vineyard (mouthful) is in a lovely location in Windsor, CA, which is in Sonoma County, which is about 1.5 hours from San Francisco.

We love the venue because it is a huge, huge open grassy lawn set in the middle of beautifully maintained vineyards. There's a LOT of room for lawn games, so I hope you're practicing your cornhole toss.

There's a patch of gigantic, old oak trees in the middle, plus a big ol' BBQ and a wood-fire oven on site. The bathrooms and the kitchen are set up in old train cars.

You have a lot of airports to choose from.
- Choice A: San Francisco International Airport (SFO).
- Choice B: Oakland International Airport (OAK).
- Choice C: Sacramento International Airport (SAC).
- Choices D+: All sorts of local airports in Sonoma, Napa, Petaluma, etc. if you happen to have your pilot's license or are able to find a neat mini-plane to get you there...

We'll let Google Maps tell you how to get there. Next up: Where to stay...
