I just received an email confirming that wineismylife will be visiting Toronto and is available for an offline on Feb. 20th.

Are any Toronto/GTA folk interested in joining the offline festivities? I'll be hosting dinner at my place unless the number is greater than 6. Please RSVP ASAP with any food concerns so we can get the ball rolling.

I'm in!

No food concerns here.

Looking forward to meeting some of the Toronto Crew. Thanks in advance for everybody/anybody that can make. I'm looking forward to meeting everybody.

Joe

Unfortunately, the 20th won't work for me.

Mrs. Slan and the two Slan kids will be coming back from a week in Florida without me, so I need to be around.

As an alternative, I'd be happy to get together with a group for a quick drink after work on the 19th.

I'm available Slan. I'll be in town on business alone so if you'd like to get together and do something (i.e. drinks, dinner, both, etc...) I'll be available that evening and would love to get together.

Joe

I would have liked to , however i will be in florida until the 21.

Joe

baird6869 is down as tentative for the 20th pending his hockey et al schedule.

Joe

Geez WIML, sounds like you could round up more of us in Ottawa (a mere 5 hours away by snow-covered four-lane highway - or a 50 minute flight) than are available in Toronto.

Any chance your business might take you here?

snow sucks, cold is worse.......

There is always that chance and you can take one guess who the first person I will contact will be when I finally make it your way.

Joe

Who? Paul Martin?

Anyone else game for a drink on the 19th? Say, 5:30 or 6:00 somewhere downtown?

I've got an exam on the 19th, but it will be done around 5:30 or 6, so I'm game. Just pick a place to meet up for drinks. Tasting Rooms or something along those lines?

Futronic: You're showing your age. It's the OTHER Paul from Ottawa. Paul Anka!!!!!!

Sorry, but I'm anti-Paul Anka!

Tasting Rooms would be just fine with me. Jump is another possibility. Both are in the downtown financial district, Joe. Which part of town do you expect to be in?

Caren's is another option and will be closer to the hotels I've recommended in Yorkville. Also closer to home for you, Slan!

It's on Cumberland, right near the Four Seasons.

Anywhere in the Yorkville area should work fine for me as well. As I said above, it all depends on which part of town Joe will be visiting.

I'm working with Joe to sort out accomodations, transportation, etc.

Based on Jay's recommendations I'll probably stay somewhere in the Yorkville area. I'll run that past my client and see if that works for them as well since they'll probably be picking me up and dropping me off at the hotel.

Joe

Great. Keep me posted.

Yonge/St. Clair area.

Sorry for answering for you, Joe!

That should work great with a Yorkville hotel.

So now I will be tasting wine with the newly crowned Toronto Wine Cru.

Joe

Indeed! Well ... a couple members at least.
