I'm starting to trip over wine bottles in the cellar. That means it's time to rip the knobs off again and have CDP IV!

The date is August 11th.

Similar to the 2005 fest, I will be opening around 100 bottles. Mrs. O has asked me to cap at 70 winos. Please post here if you plan on coming.

Really looking forward to hoisting numerous glasses with some folks I haven't seen in awhile.

Note to the Crazy Canucks: I expect you to show up en masse again. After all, you did annex my house in the name of your fine country last time. I'm still finding Canadian flags planted in various nooks and crannies of my basement! Big Grin Razz

Cheers,

Otis

First on the list, i look at it as a priviledge and an omen...


------------------------------
It is well to remember that there are five reasons for drinking: the arrival of a friend; one's present or future thirst; the excellence of the wine; or any other reason.

The crazy Texans are always talking about what a wonderful party this is, Otis. I would love, and feel privileged, to join you if there is a place for me. Smile

Otis,
I've heard about your CDP, and would be delighted to attend, if you've got room for yet another Texan!
Cheers!

I'd be very interested in joining your group that day, if you're interested in allowing a friendly WSF newbie to attend Smile Sounds like a great time!

I will take another one for the team if needed. It will be more expensive this time, I took a bath on it last time because of unforseen costs- overtime and tips. I'll start the investigations and see what I come up with.
