Paul,
Just on the waiting list for the main event but if I make it in th ewife and and would love to attend. Wait list me +1? I'll find a '99 to bring.

I'm bringing my '99 Pajzos 5 Putts Tokaji for sure. I might bring some other Hungarians as well. I'll have to see a menu.

are blends acceptable?

Good question. I hadnt even thought of that. One of the bottles I was going to bring is a blend. Paul, a ruling please.

Monte Bello is a blend, so blends are in.

I'm going to have to bring Champagne since I have no 1999 SCM Cabs.

Hi Paul,

Is it possible to fit in Mrs O to this event? Her schedule has opened up and would love to attend.

Cheers,

Otis

I picked Thursday because I figured that was the best shot at getting both you and Mrs O to attend, so of course there's room. I'll finalize the restaurant this week.

That's great, Paul. Thanks very much!

O

Unless someone has a serious well founded objection I'm going to go with Flemings. It offered the best combo of closeness (6 blocks), price, selection and corkage.

I'm for sure bringing 1999 Ch. Pajzos Tokaji 5 putts. I have plenty of Sauternes, Kracher's...

Plenty of young Cabs, Bordeaux...

Would anyone mind doing a blind tasting for dinner? I need the practice.

I'm looking forward to meet everyone!

I'd propose that we do a few of the wines blind. Maybe a flight of 6-7 of the Cabs, with the rest non-blind, so as not to totally geek out everyone's spouses.

you know, my wife and all of my friend's wives all roll their eyes whenever the guys want to do a blind tasting.

Why is that?

it's one step from this:

Probably won't be in Chicago on Thursday, so I'll have to take my name out for this one. I'll see everyone at the main event on Saturday!

Sorry we'll miss you VM & RW. We'll bring a bubbly for starters.

Looking forward to it!!!

we land at 6:15 so the tasting is out for us, but 7:30 dinner should be fine. i will be VERY thirsty tho.
