I know this idea has been thrown around before...what if I bring a decent Evesham Wood, and another bottle of white to get us "warmed up"??

You bring it, we'll drink it.
I don't have any experience with this particular Pinot Noir. That is part of the fun of these offlines. Having the opportunity to try something you've never tried before. Bring whatever you are comfortable with and we'll a good time. We're just glad you can attend.

I will also bring a white "palate primer" so we will have enough to go around.

TMG,
Good and off the wall  I would not start with anything that has any or much oak as we are tasting Pinot. Just my opinion...Michael |

Dang. I guess I'll leave my KJ chard at home.

Texaswineguy....
Aubert. Kongsgaard. Shafer Red Shoulder. Nothing fancy.  This will be fun. I'm looking forward to seeing & meeting everyone. I mentioned this on VC though....math isn't looking tooooo good. 15-16 attendees +/- and 12 bottles. Of course, there is Chateau Wine Market directly below Il Sole if we start running low. **************************** "Texas is the place where there are the most cows and the least milk, the most rivers and the least water in them, and where you can look the farthest and see the least."

TWG, anything you think might be interesting and ready to drink works. Throw us a few bones and we'll pick through them for you. I have no trouble giving my opinion!

Hey now, I have never tasted "Undeclared". Did RP rate them?
Anyway, you can't blame a guy for trying to raise the "guilt index" and get more bottles on hand. **************************** "Texas is the place where there are the most cows and the least milk, the most rivers and the least water in them, and where you can look the farthest and see the least."

Quick question: Is the restaurant going to supply glassware for all of this, or should be bring our own?
You can also put me down for a white to sip while waiting for the group to assemble. Do ya'll prefer a Kongsgaard Chard of a Premier Cru White Burgundy? |

quote: They have passable stemware but I would bring your own if your picky about your stemware like I am. quote: Yes to both! Seriously, I love Kongsgaard and I'd love to sample a Premier Cru White as well since we're starting to stock some at the house. You can't miss either way and Thanks for bringing either one! Joe |

Is an unoaked Montelena Chard cool with y'all to get us warmed up??

We may have more wine to warm up with than the theme wine!

Me turn down Montelena? Never!
How do we end up with more wine than people? |

Montelena makes an unoaked Chardonnay? I thought you had to pick the splinters out of your gums after drinking their Chardonnay.
