Thank you for the 1997 Justin Vineyards blend that we are enjoying tonight, it is still wonderful! I wish you were here to enjoy it with us, no one loved drinking old wine more than you! I will never forget the night I met you, we busted out 4 old bottles, tasted them all and then you were off to entertain the rest of the world, leaving the wine for us to enjoy. I will carry on your tradition!sonjagoodinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12545600531896939530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13670249.post-49241011278109175402009-09-08T10:04:42.164-07:002009-09-08T10:04:42.164-07:00Three years has past since Andy left us but not on...Three years has past since Andy left us but not one day goes by that I don't remember what an incrediable impact you had on so many people!

He had a huge impact on my life and I am grateful for having met him... if only there would have been more time!<BR/><BR/>Thank you for your tribute to Andy.

While I came to Walla Walla shortly after Andy did, I used to joke that I came for the wine while he came for love, (which he did and we loved him for it :-). We worked together at both the Chateau and Northstar and I was so pleased when he found a permanent home at Forgeron. <BR/><BR/>Andy, you are already missed! I will raise a glass for you at your get-together on the 30th! <BR/><BR/>-Michele Rennie<BR/><BR/>There will be a celebration of Andy’s life on September 30, 2006 at his home, 231 N. Bellevue, in Walla Walla at 4:00 pm. Please come celebrate Andy's life with a glass in one hand and a cigar in the other. Please bring an appetizer to share (if you can). <BR/>For more information, please contact Anne at Forgeron (509)522-9463Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13670249.post-1158977781092407902006-09-22T19:16:00.000-07:002006-09-22T19:16:00.000-07:00Catie, thank you so much for paying tribute to suc...Catie, thank you so much for paying tribute to such a beloved man. <BR/><BR/>I worked with Andy at Chateau Ste. Michelle from 1999 to 2002.I learned as much about BEER from him as I did about wine! Andy was a gregarious,kind,and generous man. The one term I would use to describe him would be 'great-hearted',amazingly enough. I am blessed to have known him, learned from him, had my life touched by him. <BR/><BR/>I talked with him last fall when I asked him to host a tasting for the owners of the Victoria Clipper at Forgeron...he did, and they will NEVER forget him.Yet one more instance of how remarkable this man was...<BR/><BR/>We will all treasure our days with him, mourn his passing and celebrate his life, and miss him....<BR/><BR/>- Debi KennedyDebi Ward Kennedy https://www.blogger.com/profile/13785798782484706716noreply@blogger.com
