(My brother in law used to be one of the top dogs there years ago.) If anyone would like to join us - you'd better PM me now. Otherwise it will be thejab, myself and Anela Linei. As an interesting sidenote with ties to Hukilau... http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=5542&forum=1&hilite=Mai%20Kai%20vibes This wine collection was purchased as a part of a larger lot that started the famous collection of Bern Laxler, the founder of Berns Steakhouse. He and Jim Walter split the wines and Bern started Berns with his half. Berns' collection is the largest collection in the world (that is available to see and purchase). So, last week, I drove with Palm Farmer Johnny to the Mai Kai to do some music with King Kukulele during the pre-Hukilau press party and Johnny brought a bottle of 1959 from the same collection that had the Mai Kai label on it. That guy always has something up his sleeve. He got so buzzed on the house red that we never opened it, so it sits upon Kern's desk waiting for us to open along with KokaNut's Mai Kai bottle of '63 that he left there 2 years ago. As a further aside, KK and I were swimming around in the ultra calm Atlantic the next morning and suddenly the King laughs nervously and says "uhhh... a whale...." I looked and about 14 inches from my leg was a giant black shape moving through the water slowly. It was 12 feet long at least. As we backed toward the shore I saw the paddle-like tail and realized that this was 3 Manatees coming over to say hello. Fun stuff. I told the Manatees about Hukilau and the mom said the kids were too young and then she bit King Kukulele in half. We sewed him up with uke strings and got him to his plane on time. More next time on TALES OF THE HUKILAU!!!!
