I was about to comment on this anyway:

I inititally proposed PN as one half of the theme. Seeing as procuring Pinot will require additional purchases from a lot of us, I think we should add something else. We had a lot of Cabs in Louisville and Italians in Cinci. How about Syrah? (not Shiraz.) Will go very well with tenderloin.

I have to say, Pinots aren't my strong suit either. A '97 ZD Pinot is probably my best offering (which likely isn't saying a whole lot).

There has been a lot of discussion about '97 California Cabs in the past couple of months. Anyone up for a dual theme? How about '97 Tuscany?

Any other suggestions?

I agree with Andrew. Let's do pinot and syrah.

Works for me...not sure whether I'll bring two pinots or a pinot and a syrah. Syrah I have slated for this year I was going to give until late in the year, but we'll see.

I will be there on 2/7. Sorry it took so long to respond. I will bring a Grand Cru Burgundy from the excellent '95 vintage, and possibly a Brian Loring Pinot from his current release. The name of the French PN is:

1995 Remoissenet Clos Vougeot


If I do not bring a BL PN, I will bring a bottle of Alvear PX dessert wine, that I know Kybo will certainly enjoy.

Rhb, how far do you live from the heart of downtown Cinci?

Looking forward to the gathering.

Life without wine?...... Yeah Right.<br /><br />I believe we have 2 lives; the life we learn with and the life we live with after that.

For all those attending, send me an email and I will give you our address, etc.

Too late-

The Byron was drank this weekend along with many other bottles to celebrate the finishing of my kitchen remodel! New cabinets, countertops, appliances, lights, tile floors, and everything else. What a better way than to spend a weeks vacation? I think I worked harder last week than I do at my real job- at least the hours were longer. Perhaps someday I will now be able to host an off-line (just need to convince my wife that it is ok to invite over a bunch of winos)

Now I have some incentive to go find a good Pinot to bring to the off-line!

DirtySouth;
Congrats on completing the remodel - isn't it a great feeling of accomplishment when you step back and see a job done well, and you've done the work?

As for having the group over for a tasting party...well, tell you wife we promise not to throw any furniture through the windows and we'll leave right after breakfast!

Well since Syrah has been added to the mix I will bring a bottle of 1999 Planeta Syrah from Italy as well as the red Burgundy.

Thanks again Reeta for hosting the 2/7 gathering.

Rhb537,

There is a chance I might bring my friend Tracy to the 2/7 offline. If one more person is added to the mix, is that OK? I will know for sure in the next week or so. She is checking her schedule to see if a road trip to Cinci is feasable or not. As soon as I find out, I will post here. BTW how many confirmed attendees are there? Looking forward to seeing the gang together again (plus some new faces).

IW,
Please feel free to bring your friend. I can seat 18, and if we have more, I'm sure we can make room. I will put out another thread for a head count.
