Waning Lugs = Party Time!

As the 2007 harvest winds down, the sight of lugs -- those ubiquitous plastic containers used to hold harvested grape clusters -- begins to wane throughout the Edna Valley, and that can only mean one thing: Party time!

There will be live jazz with San Luis Jazz, food and wine from over 30 different restaurants and wineries, plus live and silent auctions.
