| | Wines & Vines: Parker puts his cards on the table |
 | | He's got a pair of eights showing and all of a sudden, he starts betting as though his hole card is a third eight, which will beat the pair of aces you've got showing. |
 | | Because while Parker is, indeed, charming and welcoming, he's also prone to playing his cards extremely close to his chest. |
 | | In short, he's an exceptionally astute businessman, and at an age when most people have been retired for a number of years, Parker's still actively overseeing his two hotels, his ranch, a third property currently being developed, and the Santa Barbara County winery that bears his name. |
