Now that season is over and things have calmed down a little is anyone interested in doing an offline in June in the WPB area? I am up in Jupiter but I know alot of my fellow South Floridians live a bit further down south. I am willing to drive, or more likely have my wife drive Wink, a little ways to finally get to meet some of you. There are plenty of great restauraunts that I am sure would be more than happy to waive corkage to get a group in. Hope to see everybody soon.
Jack


ps. Probably should have checked with my wife before posting this. Now that I have, how about any weekend in June that isnt the 13th or 20th?

I think that this would be a wonderful idea. I was planning on starting a 5 week trial tomorrow but it just got postponed.

The weekend of the 6th won't work for me.

How about May 29 or 30th?

I am pretty sure the last weekend in May works for us.

jb - Pompano may be further than you want to go, but Cafe Maxx has a summer price fixed menu for $30 a person on Sunday through Wednesday nights. Would also be happy to do one further north.

I should be able to join you guys. I think I'm in town every weekend in June.

I would love for it to be further south, but I just don't think it's fair to have jb drive a 6L '01 Latour all the way to Dade County Wink

Going south isn't a problem but for us but we probably need a Fri/Saturday night. I dont get off work until 8. I dont mind taking time off to get a head start on the weekend but I hate using time mid week, especially when I am saving time off to go to Califonia and work harvest this year.

Cool -we will go with whatever works for everyone. We are looking to go away in the middle of June but other than that are pretty flexible.

It looks like we are looking at the last weekend in May, the 30th, or the last weekend in June, the 27th. Anybody have any strong preferences or conflicts with either of those?

May 30 is good for us. We will probably (hopefully) be away on June 27th. JC is not always aware of my intended vacation times, I just pack his passport and tell him where to show up...

Hi to all! I don't know where you will be doing the tasting, but I was at Cafe Maxx's on Atlantic in Pompano. The meal was great for the fish and meat eaters alike. A great choice, if you go....

I've got a couple of ideas for places in West Palm. Let me do some checking and I'll see if I can find a location.

We would be interested and will try to work around everyone else's schedule if possible. We have several tentative plans so I'm not sure what dates we may or may not be available anyway.

Might be interested..depending on date. Last weekends of both May and Junea aren't good...nor are Friday's since the Mrs. flies in from Atlanta each Friday night. That being said...let the locals set the date and if it works for us...we'll drive down.

I'm too sensitive to high acid wines for that ever to happen Big Grin

Anyway..CT tell me I'm at 54.24% Pinot right now! My goal is 60%
