Barolo, Barbaresco, and Boca will be featured in world class selections. Sophisticated, elegant, and ageworthy, most of Piedmont's wines bring class to any table or food.

   4:00 PM  -  5:00 PM Saturday Book Club  
    "Last Days of Ptolemy Gray" by Walter Mosley. Ptolemy Grey is a 91-year-old African American living alone in violent South Central L.A. Frail and suffering from dementia, largely forgotten by his extended family, he can't remember to eat, his mind scattered over nearly a hundred years. He relives events marked by racism, lynching, poverty, and longing for his long-dead wife. His great-grand nephew, Reggie, takes him to the grocery store and prompts him to eat. When Reggie is killed in a drive-by shooting, Ptolemy's days appear to be numbered. But Robyn, a beautiful, resourceful 17-year-old, steps in. As she sees to Ptolemy's needs, she awakens his desire for the lucidity he once had, and he meets a doctor who offers him a chance for several months of mental clarity before almost certain death. Mosley's dramatic departure from his Easy Rawlins and Leonid McGill crime novels appears to be a very personal one, a deeply thoughtful, provocative, and often beautiful meditation on aging, memory, family, loss, and love. Ptolemy and Robyn are truly indelible characters. Mosley's story is ultimately life affirming, and his writing is by turns gritty and sublime. Anne Kremer will lead the discussion.
