Let us know how it goes ..

Turns out there's one near my hotel (according to the bar tender). Not decided whether to do the wine tasting first and Uzi second. Or vice versa.

Wine tasting first followed by the Uzi. Better chances for an accident to happen

How many Turkeys did you manage to shoot in the end?

Actually that's a bloody good idea. Was wondering what to do this weekend. Won the air rifle competition three days running when on holiday in Turkey last week and remembered I used to belong to a gun club when I was in my teens.

I feel I need to shoot some Muslim targets!!!

Any firing ranges around where you stay?

Going to pop up to the Mountain Winery. Love the view there. Just Round the corner you can See the whole San Andreas fault.

As that's 150 miles North of me I doubt it. Presently in Palo Alto, not planning to head to Napa or Sonoma, just going to go local for a small taster as driving.

MF, if you are actually going wine tasting, a tip from me... Paul Toogood's vineyard in El Dorado County. Well worth it. Haven't been there in a few years. Also, I'll be looking out for your message tomorrow.

As to the OP, Ritz Carlton for me. I used to be Holiday Inn, but now Marriott.

Good selection of wines - and you can have them by the tasting glass. Food was excellent too.

Thanks for that. Added it to my list and shall let you know how it goes.

Would you be able to advise on .... never mind, I'll ask BP.

Well I would actually choose a Hilton for maximum rewards as I am a Diamond member and sucker for reward cards. Obviously BA to get there and Avios hire car for maximum points..

Based on your suggestions, I called Hilton to try and book a room.

They asked me whether I was COTBAC and told me to get forked.

The Amex Centurion card for all spending to increase those points again.

Just sitting, waiting for some Dynamite Prawns in PF Changs in Silicon Valley where I have a rewards card before heading up into the mountains for a little wife tasting.

Seem to have time on my hands this weekend .

FTFY

I was asked to spend a couple of weeks in Budapest for work starting Tuesday and I am struggling to decide where to stay.

Booked myself into Kempinski Corvinus for the time being (refundable), but I am unsure whether it is a 7* or just a stupid 5*.

Other options I have are:
- Four seasons Gresham palace
- The Ritz-Carlton
- Sofitel chain bridge
- Corinthia.

What would you choose?
