Happy Birthday to Jim Fox!

First, a very happy birthday to Jim Fox, who, much like his cherished wines, is only getting better with age. Along those lines, a couple quick items…

The 23rd-annual Dave Taylor/Jim Fox Golf Classic will take place Monday, June 13, at the Moorpark Country Club. The tournament, which benefits the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, includes Kings alumni and personalities such as Fox, Taylor, Marcel Dionne, Gary Edwards, Daryl Evans, Mark Hardy, Glen Murray, Ian Turnbull, Rogie Vachon, Bob Miller, Nick Nickson and Patrick O’Neal. Registration — part of the fee is tax-deductible — and sponsorship information can be found by clicking here.

If golf isn’t your thing, you can still honor Jim’s birthday by following him on Twitter! For those who don’t know, Jim is very enthusiastic and knowledgable about wine, and now you can keep track of his food-and-drink adventures by following him at www.twitter.com/puckslyonwine.
