Don't mind K, he gets a bit anxious, . I believe he's about to put up a thread for a lunar offline, 2018.

Me anxious?

Naw, I'm just crackin' up a bit by how everyone seems to be keeping their cards close to the vest for the moment.

It's all fun.

K,

Rest well knowing there will be Masseto and Redigaffi at table 4.

That said, we are keeping our powder dry and still putting our game plan together.

You are also correct, it is indeed all fun!

I had the 2004 Masseto last weekend. Obviously as tight as it can get on the palate right now but man that nose! That wine will be worth every freaking dime in 10 plus years.

Thanks greatly for the note WIML.
Sleep well my little ones.

I just discovered this thread. I'd love to attend if a spot opens up. Thanks.

Scott,

I think you're first up on the waiting list.

PH can verify.

Skoshy and I are now booked at the Sofitel.

Dok and I will be staying at The Westin.

I'll be at the Tremont, just down from the Sofitel.

Verified. The list was empty until now. I'll make a note the next time I post the roster.

Your Dal Forno would make a nice comparison to the Quintarelli. Other then that, I agree with Paul, we could use a nebbiolo. The Pio Cesare or La Spinetta would be great. I will also be bringing an interesting white and something for dessert, and probably a Barolo to.

Looking forward to meeting you guys!

What? You want a venue and time before we plan down to the gnats a$$ which wines we're going to serve in a coordination with each other with military like precision?
