We will be enjoying Tapas tonight at De Tapas in Dallas. Our theme is wine from Priorat, but we will have a few whites from other parts of the world to start off with. Starting around 7, but some will be joining us later.

I put this together for a friend from Priorat.

Current list:

Skoshy
escape ( )
Nathan
Kevin + friend
Mike B. + friend

Roger

KSC02 could not find a flight into Dallas in time.

I appreciated the invite W+A `

As it works out, Steve8, mimik, myself and others here in Montreal are also having an off-line tonight, with a Spanish theme (without specifying varietal). ENJOY!!

KSC02,

Tell Steve his old friend escape will be bending his elbow at the true tasting tonight!

Posted by wine+art (re: Philipponnat) in the, "What are you Drinking" thread:

"...The pinot just jumps out of the glass.

A wonderful wine, and the '91 is also stunning.

They did suggest decanting. If skoshy will bring this to tomorrow nights Priorat offline we can try decanting.

A food wine for sure in my opinion. Darn, your making me want to pop one as we speak. I'm not working tomorrow... ..."

If I'm not bringing "Bubbles", am I still welcome??? (I've rustled up a mag of something good, baby.)

I'm thinking a '96 Pol Roger Winston Churchill might be in the stars tonight.

Wahoo! How could I forget that you, WIML, PURPLE, and I enjoyed that recently due to Kevin's generosity. Slammin' good stuff...although the '88 mag you'd brought to Philly ruined me (in a good way).

We can hope the '96 will turn out to be the wine the '88 was.

Champagne & Priorats? Throw Skosh into the mix and that's one heckuva combination! I'm looking forward to reading all about it.

Too sweet, Festiva. Because the company and wines were so good, I didn’t even notice there was no Champagne.

It was a pleasure to meet wine+art’s friend from Priorat, Roger, and his wife Shannon (from Los Angeles). I enjoyed their, "how we met", story (took place at De Tapas - differing accounts of who "hit on" whom though)…

I believe escape brought three fantastic wines, two of which were in my top wines of the night. 2000 Abat Domenech & 2000 Philippe Delesvaux SGN. The '97 Les Terrasses and the '95 Finca Dofi were the other two that made me very happy.

Alas, wine+art reached over a platter of blood sausage to wrest pen & paper from me. One day he'll allow me to do tasting notes...
