Looks like I will be in Van next week on business. Dates/times aren't finalized yet, but it looks like I will be in town one or both of those nights. Any of the locals interested in getting together to share some wine?

Unfortunately it's not in the cards for me Steve8.

It is about a 5 hour trip (driving and ferry boat) for me...and it's mid-week.
Anything in Vancouver is 2 days off and an over-nighter for me.

Would have been nice to hook up...sorry.


Have fun in Vancouver.

Tyee, I suspected that a weeknight off-line wouldn't be good for you. They need to build a bridge between the Island and the mainland. Hopefully next trip I can take some time and cross the Strait to share a bottle or two.

And hopefully Seaquam and Dixie will see this.

Take advantage of this opportunity guys. He's great company. I'd drink anything, heck, even Italian cheapies, with this one. And, he's kind to strangers. Willingly gives directions...

Steve, send me an email-- seaquam99 at hotmail (dot com, of course).

I'm horrified that you would even think to come to Vancouver early in the week, but we will see what we can do. Can I assume that your lovely spouse is not joining you?

Seaq, check your mail. And you are correct that J will not be with me on this quick trip.

Skosh, I see you also noticed that pretentious Italian cheapie remark.

LOL...I seen that little barb as well...

Anyways...hope you and Seaquam will be able to hook up on your quick visit.

Perhaps next time your in the area I will be able to join in.
Have a safe and fun trip steve8.

Sorry steve, did not receive mail from you. Please try again.

Sent another message. If you don't get this one try sending me one at swooden at sympatico dot ca.

Don't want to infringe on your night, but would love to meet up as well. I won't be offended if not.

Always game for meeting new forumites Dixie. Send an e-mail to both Seaquam and me at above addresses for details.

Yes. What Steve said.

Have emailed both, and thx.

Excellent dinner last night with Mr. and Mrs. Seaquam and Dixie. Great to meet the latter and see the formers again. Thanks for taking the time to get together and share some wine. Seaquam, what was the name of that pinot again? Bad memory.

Wines last night were
- 2000 Albert Mann Gewurtztraminer Furstentum
- 2002 William Fevre Chablis Bougros
- 2002 Lemelson Pinot Noir Stermer
- 2000 Chateau Bouscasse Madiran Vielles Vignes

I scribbled a couple of comments before I went to bed, but I couldn't read them this morning. I'll try again later.

It was great to see you again and meet the charming Dixie. A most enjoyable evening.

Inquiring minds want to know ???
Please do tell !!!!

Thanks again to Mr. and Mrs. Seaquam and Steve8 for letting me join their evening. I had a wonderful time. Food and wine were both outstanding, as was the company. And, whichever of you posts the notes, don't forget the "hockey rink".

My lips are sealed.

Glad to hear everyone had a good time!
