Nothing in mind yet. You used all you income for the 00 bordeaux and the Neals. That's why you have the apartment.
Seriously,
You have done many of these, so you can schedule the game. It could be at the aparment if you like and we are a few (I can even cook), or at any restaurant that have low corkage. That day I only have a David Arthur appointment at 11.
I am staying close to the town (Napa redwood Inn).
If we can not get other people, we can just make a reservation for two at a restaurant. Try to get Bob Bressler (I can not write on VinoCellar forum, but could read it and their Napa offline was wonderful). I have plenty of wine in my cellar at San Rafael, so will have good juice that night.

orlando,

I will shoot out a few e-mails this afternoon to the local folks. How many do you have in the party?

I am leaving to go to Walla Walla Friday morning, so I won't be able to confirm the details probably 'til after the weekend.

Powell,
I reserved for 4 persons at Foothill Cafe at 7PM. We can add or decrease as necessary. Cork is only $10, and food, I have been told is very good and a favorite of locals.
I am open to suggestions for other places. Reserved this one to have something secure on a Friday night. Wink

Bob, that was what I was thinking to order.
You and your wife are invited to join us. I told Pyang (Powell Yang) to call or e-mail you. So far we are two and have reserved for four. Looking to try the 01 Bressler from barrel or bottle Razz

Bob,

Don't have a theme, Delia mentioned that she is going to bring the 2002 Viader which is being bottled on Friday.

Hit the mainland (SF) last night. On my way to Napa today.
I am bringing a SNQ white to start the night, and a SNQ 98 syrah for ribs!!
I though that Bob was bringing the barrel sample of 01 but he may surprise us.

I just saw this post. Sounds like fun and wish I could attend but I have a conflict. Let's have a full report, of course.
