If You're in West Seattle This Weekend...

...consider dropping by the annual Friend of the Animals Foundation silent auction (this Saturday between 1 and 3pm at the West Seattle Golf Course), which helps to fund the organization's work of rescuing abandoned cats and finding them new homes. Mrs. F and I are big fans of FAF, which is how we came to have the two greatest cats in the world, Wompus and Nip.



We've also been donating a selection of Aussie/Kiwi wines to the auction the last couple of years, and this year's batch (full of animal themed-labels, all procured from West Seattle Cellars) is the best yet (IMHO).

• Marquis Philips - 2004 Shiraz (South Eastern Australia)
  
• The Black Chook - 2005 Shiraz Viognier (McLaren Vale, South Australia)
  
• Fox Creek Vixen - 81% Sparkling Shiraz, 10% Cabernet Franc, 9% Cabernet Sauvignon (McLaren Vale, South Australia)
  
• Nautilus - 2005 Sauvignon Blanc (Marlborough, New Zealand)
  
• Two Hands The Wolf - 2004 Clare Valley Riesling (Marananga, South Australia)
  
• Sheep's Back - 2001 Old Vine Shiraz (Barossa Valley, South Australia)
