You shouldn't keep punishing yourself just cuz you're a CU guy.

Looking forward to the 10th.

I hope zmeu, Wine Joe, Gigond Ass, wineismylife or any other San Diegans are thinking about coming, if they can make it.

I'm still planning on making it. Thg big question mark is timing. We have a late tee time that day someplace out in the desert or what not.

spo, I'll PM you my cell phone over on WD.

Just a quick reminder: I need the names and contact numbers of everyone who is going by the 8th, so I can put you on the guest list. Send them to my email IggyTr@aol.com. The only one I have so far is spo.

Sounds good.

I thought it might be interesting for those attending to list what they're bringing. For me, it's:

2003 Joh. Jos. Christoffel Erben Ürziger Würzgarten Riesling Auslese ***
2004 Mitolo Shiraz G.A.M.

And to entice zmeu and his better half into attending, for dessert I'll be bringing:
1977 Fonseca Porto Vintage

I'll also bring some stems. I look forward to seeing everyone there!

SD,
I am a little embarassed. I planned on bringing a bottle of Justin Justification 2004. Are any of your bottles 375 mls?

Doh! Definitely not my intent, there.

They're all 750's, but I'm bringing them because I want to try and/or share them. And in the case of the Fonseca, I've been looking for an excuse to open this up so I can see if I want to pursue more of them as they come on the market. I just thought this would be a great time to do it.

By all means bring the Justin (I've never had one). I'm not trying to start any p!ssing matches over the wines being brought (I think I'd lose that contest to zmeu, at least, every day of the week, anyway ). It's just an opportunity to get together and try different wines with fellow winos.

I'm looking forward to trying your Justin!

I guess I am just self concious. Cool, Justin it is.

wineismylife and WineJoe, and anyone else who wants to go, I still need your names and a contact number by tomorrow. Even if you're still not sure whether you're going to make it or not, I need to have them or you may not get in. If I put you on the guest list and you don't show, I don't get charged. So don't worry about giving me your info and then not coming. If you can't make it at 5 p.m., don't worry, we'll probably be there for quite awhile so don't worry about being late. My email is IggyTr@aol.com.

I'm planning on taking the following:

2004 Langwerth von Simmern Erbacher Marcobrunn Riesling Spaetlese
NV Laurent-Perrier Demi-Sec
plus whatever my parents decide to bring

Sean,

I'll send you an e-mail at the address you listed. I will plan on coming, but probably solo. Does not look like the wife will make it. Thanks for hosting.

update: Mrs. Wine Joe will be coming also. Not sure what I will bring.

Sean,

I emailed you my contact information. Hope to make it. I haven't a clue what I'll bring since I'll have to pick something up. I couldn't lug anything else along since I had to check a golf bag.

Got directions?

La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club
2000 Spindrift Dr
La Jolla, CA 92037
google map

This turned out pretty good. 8 people and a strong chance that wineismylife and brother will show.

Definite:
Sean Tremblay (+2?)
spo
Mr. SD
Mrs. SD
Mr. Mrs. Wine Joe

Maybe:
WIML

Oh... wiml needs no invitation.

Now Purple, she is very sweet and has a better palate than wiml.

We will be there, but may be not be able to get there until after 5:30

Fashionably late.

I wanted to warn everyone that it was fairly cold here last night and we may have more of the same tonight, so please bring a jacket with you.

Also, when you get to the front gate just tell them you're with the Tremblay party.

See you tonight.

Guys, as you might have suspected, I don't think I'm going to make this. Sorry. BTW, my cell phone is broken if anybody has tried to contact me. Happened today.

A great event at a beautiful location! I enjoyed meeting Wine Joe and Mrs. Wine Joe and getting reaquainted with spo and the Tremblay's. And the line-up of wines was wonderful. I really enjoyed it - thanks to all!

Sorry we missed you WIML.

Ditto. The "Missus" and I had a nice time, and we enjoyed meeting everyone. Special thanks to the Tremblay's for hosting.
