Owner Dan Tulipani said "Ray has been a fixture at Camp Connell for many years, helping out with special events in the backyard, and taking recyclables for us (or at least for my sister Donna). He's had a difficult time of late, and well Ray here's to you - our tribute to a local gem! In Ray's honor, and for rest of April, all regular wine will be priced at "Ray's Price" which is $5 per glass. Hope you will join us in tribute!"

Camp Connell, CA...Hello all - two things I wanted to share - first off - I would like to dedicate this post to Ray Sutliffe. Ray has been a fixture at Camp Connell for many years, helping out with special events in the backyard, and taking recyclables for us (or at least for my sister Donna).

In Ray's honor, and for rest of April, all regular wine will be priced at "Ray's Price" which is $5 per glass. Hope you will join us in tribute! Also, as an extra celebration, Grover Anderson will be playing Friday Night at Camp Connell. No Cover! Oh, and speaking of gems, I found this picture on the wall - Camp Connell Cafe - interesting! I actually remember Thelma's place
