oh that sounds cool, I've got the 97 Frescobaldi Reserva, we could do a side by side.

So is this 2 bottles per person? 3?

PH:

FYI: french16 is currently visiting (where else?) France. He should be back next week.

Cheers,

Otis

Well 1 red per person, with a white or two to start and something for dessert should do. But feel free to bring as much as you like.

I'm just going to steal the whole bottle.

futronic,

I like the way you think.

I'm thinking of bringing a Masseto or Redigaffi just to be worthy! ... and a Champagne of coarse.

Sorry you can't make it ArieS. Was looking forward to meeting you.

Welcome aboard IndyB! You lucked out and got seating at the best table.

No question about what your FIRST bottle is going to be.
You just keep that '97 Siro Pacenti in a safe place until April.

Just to help inspire the other tables trying to find some direction , Table 2 got its' act together and is planning on the following (albeit tentative) wines for the evening:

Redline:1997 Domenico Clerico Barolo Ciabot Mentin Ginestra (magnum)
KSC02: 1999 Casanova di Neri BdM Cerretalto
1995 Ornellaia
DoktaP: 1997 Castelgiocondo (magnum)
grossie: 1997 Banfi BdM
indybob:1997 Siro Pacenti BdM
1999 Casanova di Neri BdM

With the great group of winos attending and good food to accompany this shindig, there's one very memorable evening ahead for us.

Updated for Indyb add'l CdNeri BdM

Table #4, keep your powder dry, we will trump in at the appropriate time.

So far, we have yet to be challenged.

Oh PLEASE don't take the posting above as a challenge....it's meant purely as inspiration.

Nice!!!

Hey, add my bottle of '99 CdNeri BdM Normale. We can compare it to the Cerretalto. Capiche?

DoktaP, Redline, et al, look forward to meeting y'all. Grossie, K, it'll be great to reconnect.

Now, just so you know, I anticipate being there. But, I will be out of the country for several weeks prior for work. I'll give ample notice if I'm stuck overseas, and can't make it.

I'm flying solo on this trip to Chicago, I better not get inspired this time.

Count me in for next year. I have 1999 CdN Tenuta Nuova and Cerretalto, 2003 Sassicaia, 2004 Oreno, 2001 CdN Tenuta Nuova, 2000 di Gresy Camp Gros Barbaresco...I'd be happy to share.

I think we should do next year's in Italy, as some have semi-seriously suggested. Would that be a hoot, or what?

Berno, we could waitlist you for this year's event. With 3 months to go, one never knows.
