Sacred Cow, all you need to do to drink the old Barolos is to take a three week trip to Italy and bring them back with you. Ask Joe for recommendations.

As for Saturday night, I don't think I made my declarations on this boards. I can't keep up with one board much less two of them. In any case, I am bringing a white and a red. Maybe the Sacred Cow will like one of them.

Red: 1989 Chateau Palmer
White: 2004 Joseph Drouhin Beaune 1er Cru Clos des Mouches Blanc

was that red and white OR CRIMSON & CREAM just kidding around guys.

i thought i might as well post an OU/Texas Jab while i could- it might be ugly for OU again.

Oh well- Big Game Bob, where are you ?

I will more than likely bring a 96 Bordeaux and maybe bubbles.

Still considering, though I did take a trip to storage today. For one night, I will go with the 1989 Chateau de la Gardine Cuvee des Generations. Strongly considering a 1995 Pegau for the second night to see how it is doing (in 750, left the mags in storage). Can be convinced to go New World with maybe a 1997 Etude? 1999 Insignia? Anyway, give me an idea what people prefer New vs. Old and I will post some possibilities.

Plano: What is this "white" wine stuff you post about?

Of course, I get the feeling I might bring a few backup bottles. You know. Just in case there is not enough wine one night or t'other.

I'm bringing at least a case for two nights. You do the math.

does that mean there is the possibility of bringing something from
califonia as i have no Frog juice and would need to start looking.

i was thinking maybe 2000 Neal Howell Mountain Estate- only 17 cases made- for saturday night

was also thinking of 2001 Turley Hayne zin or petite syrah, i think i have one of each, any ideas which one is more Ready right now?

I think your SQN would be appropriate.

hoodoo man white blend
stripes and stars Rose
2000 Mr. K strawman sweetie 375ml

you pick and it shall be done

i also ran across a box of 2000 Bond Matriarch the other day, it is probably time to try one of those ?

what say you

Sacred Cow, there are some foods, however few that go well with white wines.

Corky, I am certain we all trust you to pick something you think appropriate. Why would anyone want to risk the wrath of Sean by bring the Boones Farm.

Sacred Cow,if you bring a '97 CA or the '99 Insignia, I will bring a '97 CA as well maybe even the Insignia. Post when you know and I will select accordingly.

Right now this is what I'm planning on bringing Friday and Saturday night:

Friday night:

• 1967 Giacomo Borgogno & Figli Barolo Riserva Antichi Vigneti Propri
  
• 1994 M. Chapoutier Châteauneuf-du-Pape Barbe Rac
  

Saturday night:

• 1995 Château Troplong Mondot
  
• 1998 Château Montrose
  

I'll be bringing a full case to cover the weekend so I'll have some backups and pool side drinkers available.

Plano:

I will be bringing both the Etude and Insignia along with all other wines mentioned. Which we open depends on the menu, what other people bring, etc. I just want to bring a variety so we don't have any holes in wine choices. We will open whatever people want to try.

Moo

Bump. Almost past the tax deadline and starting to plan and pack. Well, planning and packing are on the horizon. Guess I need to look at a map and figure out how to get there.

Or just jump into a wayback machine, the alternative way to get from Colorado to OKC. Same difference.

Pull the cork now...

I am trying to figure out what I can do to make the drive to OKC more exciting. So far I have come up with:

1) Trying to discern the difference between a good looking tumbleweed and an ugly tumbleweed.

2) Buying a bag of gummi bears or gummi worms and putting them one at a time on top of the steering wheel to see how far I can go without them falling off. I believe my record life to date is 40+ miles in Wyoming. What the heck, it gets the ol' competitive juices flowing.

3) Stopping the car every 50 miles or so, getting out, and seeing how long it takes to find any living creature within eyesight. But this one might make the drive too long.

Any other brilliant ideas from the peanut gallery?

Drive in reverse

Drive really fast. Get pulled over by a rural cop or better yet the State Police. Tell the cop about your rights. Spend a few hours in podunk jail. Now THAT'S living.

Have a good offline!

I am so looking forward to this weekend also.

Can't think of anything but a word of caution. Once you cross the Oklahoma state line and you suddenly notice all of the cows and sheep backing up to the fence lines don't worry. It's normal.

Good to know WIML, thanks.

As Purple mentioned, expect little to no conversation from us. Just cater to our every whim and you will survive the weekend.

I saw that w&a...

Well, got my gummi bears for the trip. I mentioned that joke to my admin earlier in the week so she went out and bought me some for my Boss' Day present. Didn't realize that was tomorrow. Her present is having me out of the office for the day, so she gets the better end of that deal.
