I'll bring:
95 Legras Blanc de Blanc Champagne
86 Prieuer Lichine

I'm really looking forward to this! See everyone Saturday.

Hey Dok any room for 1 more?

Drth,
The conditions under which my wife agreed to have the offline at my house was that the guest list not exceed 8 people. Unfortunately, we have exactly 8 at the present time. There is a chance we may host other offlines throughout the summer. I suspected that you and Slan would be in Muskoka for the long weekend and that's why you did not reply earlier.

no problem ,we were going to be at the cottage but my wife is under the weather so ..........,

BTW, dinner on both Friday at my place and Saturday at DoktaP's will start at 8pm.

Sat at DoktaP's is now 8:00 vs. the original 7:00?

The baseball game is a later start and won't end until 7:00ish. Does this mean we have less time to drink more wine?

Same amount of time for more wine, by my calculations.

This was the best wine experience I have ever had!

Thank you to DoktaP and the Mrs for hosting the event. It was a pleasure to meet Mrs Baird, Basecadet and J3 and great to see the familiar faces again. The dinner was outstanding and the wine .... the wine was amazing!!! I'll let Fut take care of the line up and TNs.

As usual though, the best part of the night was sharing all of this with great friends. I'm looking forward to my next offline.

J3 - safe trip home

Dok - I'll have to search out some of the 2000 Taylors!

Thank you all.

mwaters,
I couldn't agree with you more. This was one of the finest off lines I've had the pleasure of participating in.
Thanks to Baird for the appetizers, mwaters for the salad, futronic for his world famous chocolate souffle, and basecadet for his amazing selection of cheeses and coffee.
J3, the '82 Pichon Lalande was my WOTN. Unbelievable nose of cedar, cigar, tobacco,
and fruit. This wine has a decade at least ahead of it.
The participants were first class.It was great to see Mrs. Baird out and enjoying the assortment of aged Bordeaux. At one point, I had to pinch myself to think I had in front of me a '82 Pichon Lalande, '89 Pichon, and a '91 Guigal La Mouline.
I'll post the wines in the what are you drinking thread. As per usual, refer to Fut for the actual tasting notes.
It was a real treat to have Jcubed at our offline and we hope to see him again more often.

Wow! another 2 great offlines for me.

Futronic, DoktaP & MrsP you were incredible hosts!

It was great to finally meet J3, Mwaters, MrsP and Mrs. Baird. I will definately get MadamCadet to come along in the future!

I can't believe the spread of wine we had. It would be tough for me to pick just one as WOTN, the 91 La Mouline and the 82 Pichon were just killer! I Can't get over the notes of Bazooka Joe bubble-gum and bacon fat on the La Mouline.

Thanks everyone for the great food, wine and chatter!

Thanks again to Dokta and Mrs. P for hosting this.

The wines were amazing as was the food.

Hard to believe my '95 Cardinale and MWaters' '86 Prieuer Lichine were just ok beside the other heavy hitters. On any other night they (or the '89 Pichon) could have been wines of the night. These wines were excellent but the '82 Pichon and '91 La Mouline were absolutely incredible. The '82 Pichon Lalande was my WOTN as the nose was one of the best I have ever experienced. A top 10 wine of all time for me. Thanks, J3!

It doesn't get any better than this. Now what Do I drink? Back to beer, I guess.

Jcubed,

Good to see you again! Hopefully you enjoyed your weekend in Toronto. See you in August.

Dok, thanks for hosting on Saturday night - everything was wonderful, as per usual. The La Mouline was my wine of the night, with the '82 Pichon not far behind.

I want to thank the Toronto group for their generous hospitality this weekend. In particular, thanks to futronic and DoktaP and Mrs. P for arranging the weekend, opening their homes, preparing sumptuous feasts, and making my stay most enjoyable.

Thanks also to basecadet, mwaters, baird and Mrs. baird for sharing their wines and some of their holiday weekends with me. It was great to meet you all.

The meals and all of the wines were outstanding. But my wine of the night, and now of my life, is the La Mouline. It was out of this world. Now I know what the fuss is all about.

I look forward to seeing the Toronto Cru again in Chicago in August.

J3

J3,
The pleasure was all ours.
Hope to see you at the diminishment gala.
