He might be able to set up a special bourbon tasting for us. If interested, please post so we can try to plan numbers and date/time.
Here's 4 that are interested.

I did it in October and just booked it again. The tour is different every time. If you are interested, call them ASAP as the times fill up way in advance.

Dinner Friday
Suggesting a repeat visit to http://www.heirloommidway.com/. Everyone enjoyed it last time. They are on Open Table & seating looks wide open. We're going with johnrxman+1. Reply here if you want to join us & I will handle the reservation.

I booked a Saturday 10:30 am tour at https://www.godolphin.com/. One of the few that has stallions, mares and foals. $20+tax. In Lexington.

Herb687 - If you are reserving grandstand seats again, count us in for 4. Hopefully, luckier seats than last time
