I just found out I am going to have to miss this one... enjoy!

Sorry to hear that Impulse, but we'll catch up at some point. When is the next Montreal offline, just out of curiosity?

Updated list below:

DoktaP - 2 - 1990 Beaucastel (mag)
bman - 2 - 1994 Quilceda Creek cab, blind white
KSC02 - 1 - 1977 Taylor vintage port
vinaigre - 4
carriedca - 2
Mimik - 1
Steve8 - 2

I haven't been on in ages.

I'll bring a 93 Royal Tokaji 6 puttonyos gold Label (not sure which since I have a few)
I'll also bring a Red for the meal, considering the line-up so far, might be a 96 Bordeaux (left bank)
dbl mag of 96 Ducru? (DoktaP knows about this)

You got my attention.....

Nice to see you back online, BTW

Bman,

I hate to spring this on you so late but I may have to bail out of the Ottawa tasting this time. Something has come up and I may not be able to make it. I hope it is not too late.

Could you put me down as "tentative" for now? If not, I'll graciously cede my seat.

But we've already alerted Amy that you're coming! Or is there someone else and you'd rather not tell her face-to-face?

No worries Mimik, there will be a place for you even if you show up unannounced.

Now that we are down to 13 or 14, I may extend an invitation to previous participants who have not yet chimed in here. Any objections?

If those who haven't posted their wines yet are unable to decide, I'll note that we have only one white so far....

Simpler than putting them back in the cellar !
I'm ready to go !!!

Hey, who took their '04 Flaccienello off the counter this weekend?

Mimik says he cannot make it.

Just visited Bocado to firm up arrangements. We'll be upstairs again, around a rectangular table to facilitate chit-chat, and we'll have dump buckets, one white and a couple of red stems each, a couple of decanters, and our own server. Not Amy, who it turns out is spoken for (is this why Mimik cancelled? ) and no longer works there anyways. I will try to remember to bring a couple of extra decanters.

Please try to arrive around 6pm. We'll probably sit down around 7-7:30, and take it from there. I forget the number but the restaurant is on Somerset between Bank and O'Connor.

Now, if only we could get a certain Bruins fan to post his wines, everything would be complete....

Perhaps I'll bring a white as well for appetizers. Any suggestions?

I noted grilled octopus on the current menu....

BTW, can't help noticing that we will be 13 sitting down to supper in honour of you, Dok - hope no one kisses you so that you make it through the meal and the next day

I want to be Peter. I get to cut off a Roman's ear.

Maybe you'd rather be Roman's ear. Then you'd get to cut off a Peter.

I bet THAT would have everybody talking for a long, long time.

Funny Bman. In fact, I am seeing Amy that night in Ottawa!! THAT's the real reason I can't make it.

Wines from the brother in law:

Casa l'Apostolle Cuvee Alexandre Merlot 2005
Domaine Du Pegau CdP 2003

See you tomorrow !

FYI: KSC02 and I are working on him !!
We'll see tomorrow, but at the moment Mimik is on the edge of the fence !!

Twist that rubber arm of his.

I gave up on the coddeling. He's on his own.

We'll be heading out early afternoon.
Looking forward to seeing you all this evening.

All's packed we are leaving in a few minutes.

Call us when you get into Ottawa.
We'll meet up at the hotel

We should be there shortly after 6. If I'm not there already, ask for Alan. And please check that the table is for 13 or 14, not 12. See you soon!
