Frankly Frankl - Book Launch Party at Ferrari of San Francisco and Fun in Napa - Frankly Frankl-life, luck, love and automobiles




Well folks, it has been pandemonium here of late. The book-Frankly Frankl- was finally launched last week. I've spent 2 hours signing at Ferrari of SF, in the meantime they made full advantage of the merry crowd-courtesy of Cline wines-and decided to spend a bit of money. So at the end of the day I went to the bank to pay in  800 dollars and they , the sales team also went off to the bank to pay in half a million dollars! Someone said I should have been on commission which is not fair. They gave me a platform and I for one don't blame them for taking full advantage of it. Leah Garchick who writes in the SF Chronicle's datebook found it sufficiently amusing to mention it as did the local paper here in Tiburon.

Once we've all recovered from the party we started planning our next adventure. This was a small gathering of Ferrari enthusiasts from the Pacific Region who decided to drop in on next year's President, Jody Stewart, a seriously big cheese at Napa's Silver Oak winery. Amazing wines and literally a cast of thousands. There were limos as far as the eye can see with customers from all over the World. Clearly well-heeled as nothing happens at Silver Oak at under 70 dollars.
 
 
The bit I liked most that after floods some years ago the whole place rebuilt at  a higher elevation and as the Boss said-should there be another flood or earthquake there is room for all the staff. I had a massive treat on the way . A very nice gentleman whose name and address I will not mention for the simple reason that there is no need to advertise something as desirable as a brand spanking new 458 spider -took me all the way to Sonoma. After some very fine, enthusiastic driving it was time for a standing start. I know he won't mind but the truth is that he had the 458 somewhat sideways!
