Please bring back the glass ornaments at each winery and grapevine baskets or wreaths. Half the fun is collecting the ornaments from each winery. Thanks again for all your efforts in hosting these events each year! Enjoyed the Toast the Season wine tour again this year, but we were disappointed with the bag of goodies.
