I am being transplanted to Columbia Maryland for a week for job. I was wondering if anyone was interested in doing a offline in the area on the 16th. I was supposed to attend one in NYC but had to cancel, had the crazy idea of having one of my own. I can toss in a 2003 W.H. Smith Maritime Vineyard Pinot Noir for starters, dessert wine for finishers, maybe something in between?
Also around others nights as wife must stay at home. I am driving so I am thinking of bringing some gems for the week.

It looks as though we'll be having our monthly offline on the evening of the 19th. Any chance of you making it? I'll check my calendar for the 16th, but I'm not liking my chances...

You are so darn inflexible.

DifferntDave: I'd be interested in meeting up. Let's work out the details!

I don't know what it is about the razz emotican that sends a shiver down my back. I think empty suit ruined it for me.

Damn funny!

Every single time I hit it, I feel dirty, sleezy and my I.Q. drops 100 points.

It could be any day that week not just the 16th. I ma probably going to bring 5-10 bottles with me just in case.

sarbuze my email is differentdave at yahoo dot com
purplehaze would like to lift a glass with you as well, as you seem to a staple round these parts.

This is so true. I've actually deleted the razzy in my posts a few times lately. We're LONG overdue for some new graemlins.

I'd like to hoist one with you as well. Clarify the date thing for me. Are you clear on the 16th? I'm a little confused, but that's a normal state of mind for me lately... Any shot of you making the offline on the 19th?

I am showing up on Sunday the 13th leaving on Friday the 18th. I am free every night as of now.
I mentioned the 16th as I was attending an offline on that night in NYC up until today when I was asked? by job to go to clm for the week.
No shot for the 19th

different dave:
You want to try to eat at Cafe de Paris in Columbia, a site of some offlines.
Please be sure to tell Erik, the maitre d' and owner, that you heard about the restaurant from the local Wine Spectator folks. He is very accomodating for us. http://www.cafedepariscolumbia.com/
Plus, not far from Columbia is the Iron Bridge Restaurant and wine tasting place:
http://www.ironbridgewines.com/index.shtml
That's worth a visit if you'll be around all week.

DD: Shoot me an e-mail if you still want to do a small offline when you're in town. I'm open Tuesday and Wednesday.

I am in town with a box full of nice wines, nothing would make me happier to go home empty handed.
Any takers for sharing a bottle or three one of the next few nights?

I'm in for Wednesday.

Welcome to town differentdave. Unfortunately, I'm booked solid this week. Sorry to miss you. You're in good hands with sarbuze.

Dave, I hope you get to try those places I emailed you. Have a great trip.

Different Dave & Sarbuze,

I just saw this post. Are you guys still planning to get together? If so, you got room for one more? Thanks!
