Uhhhhhhhh.....we need Champagne, people!

I'm going to bring a 1998 Ch. Ellner Brut. We could probably use another bottle or two for this group. Anyone? We're coming into the home stretch!! Cool

I'm very much looking forward to meeting you and the Mrs. I am also quite excited to taste my first Stefania wines, from a barrel sample no less. Very cool, thanks Paul Smile

Any last minute declarations from Cometspider or Festiva? I'm going to switch to a red if no one declares a white, assuming no objections.

No objection here, Lentini. If cometspider or Festiva check in, we could use a sparkler or two also!

Switch me to a 1995 Charles Heidsieck Brut Blanc de Blancs Champagne Blanc des Millénaires (please).

If I can find it, I'll bring a 2003 Neal Family Petite Syrah to prep people's palates for your Relentless, PH.

Looks like a great event PH... and perhaps 1 or 2 more Champagnes would make it even greater! Cool

Grab a magnum and hop a plane, big fella! Wink

We probably could use at least one more sparkler, though. Maybe I'll find something else interesting in the cellar.

Since I didn't take the bubbly hint from earlier posts, I'll bring a Bollinger Special Cuvee Brut NV as well.

A couple of others with action items...

Sarbuze - Official in charge of recording the final lineup, which had a couple of late additions.

That was a ton of wine! We'll have to start i
