Date: January 18, 2004

Time: 6:00pm

Location: TBD. Likely at Pere Jeanty


It's looking like we have at least one mystry guest for this event, hoping for more.

As usual, the sooner you can RSVP the better. I would like to nail down the head count and reservation right after the New Year.

Hope to see you there.

Pyang-

when are you going to schedule an event in Portland?????? :P

RRV

What you must realize is that there is no spoon...

I was hoping for a get-together on January 10...

highdesertwine

Count me in

highdesertwine,

There is a BAWE event on January 11th if you are interested.

I am sure Eric White can find space to accommodate you, if not you can always sit on his lap.


RedRedVine,

Just take a drive down or fly, I'll pick you and the Mrs. up at the airport.

I'll settle for the 18th, don't want to sit on Eric's lap!!

Put me down for two amigo!!

What's the theme?

Can we DRAB some '88 Krug?

Looking foreward to this.


Salud!!


PS--Tell DRAB we should try another '95 Harlan, just to settle the corked-not corked debate.

Throw me down for 1/18. Sounds like a good time.

I am in for 2.
What is the theme?

There is no theme, but always welcome to suggestions, perhaps gusbo can pick one out, as you are the traveling forumite for this dinner.

pyang - 1 + mystry guest
CHICO - 1 or 2
gusbo - 2
DJ Hombre - 2

Pyang - You are killing me! Who is this mystry girl?.... guest

Did you find yourself a sugar mommy to support your wine habit

If the mystry guest is Pam Starr don't count on her actually showing up

I'd love to share some great wine and food with Gusbo again - but will have to be tentative for the moment.

Pyang-
I will bring over to the other side of the force.

What? I felt my ears burning!!! You want my 'nook? Ain't that a little personal??? I just wish I could make this one, but alas, I can't...

Thanks Pyang, Pinot sounds great!!

From Winebrat's list, in no particular order:

'94 CaliCabs
'90 BDX Classified
Goo Goo for Grenache
Aussie Shiraz

Parker's perfects is a great theme, but I don't know if I have any, as I do not subscribe to His newsletter.
You could point to some wines You would be interested in seeing in the line up(keep it under $1,000,000 a bottle!! ) and a source.
In any event, should be fun seeing some old faces and meeting new ones



Salud!

gusbo,

Here you go...

Parker's Perfects

---------------------------

By the way, I like the '94 Cali Cabs idea, would be easier for everyone to source wine.

I'd so be down with a Pinot theme.

Pyang-
Got it! it IS under $1 mil, but that particular bottle falls under:

"Wines We can DRAB just to piss others off"

So, sorry but it "ain't happening!!"

'94 CaliCabs is fine by me, if everyone agrees, that could be the theme.


Salud!

the amount of smiley faces in this thread is killing me.
