Bonny Doon

The Haas wine club has been a little quiet of late - shocking in any student establishment.  But tonight they came back strongly with a talk from Randall Grahm, the "leader" of Bonny Doon winery.

This place is pure California.  Biodynamic, New Age, idealistic, etc.  Randall is the definition of ex-hippy (including ponytail), which led some to suggest that he might be growing more than just grapes on his property.  Whatever, the wine was delicious and he was a fascinating and utterly compelling speaker.  "This is what business school is all about!" Amir exclaimed to me as we walked to catch the bus.  He'd been drinking...



The manifesto.



Ready to sample!



Randall Grahm - the man.
