I spoke with the restaurant. The meal will be a prix fixe type set-up. We're getting an appetizer, shrimp salad, a spicy pasta dish and rack of lamb. The cost will be $60 per person.

Can we have another roll call?

I think we've only got four people now, Duojet. The carriedcas are unable to make it, and Dok is on-call. That leaves you, basecadet, Baird, and myself.

Still on for 7pm, correct?

7:00 p.m. is correct.

I've invited a friend (he's active on another board) who will be coming.

Aren't a couple of Mrs. attending?

Nope, it's just the boys this time.

Who's bringing what?

Have fun tomorrow night, gang. I'll be in NYC with Mrs. Slan celebrating her birthday.

Slan,

Give Mrs Slan my best on her 29th!


Fut/Duojet/Basecadet,

I woke up this morning feeling like hell. I caught something from one of my kids and will fill my bloodstream with antibiotics tonight. I should be ok for tomorrow, but I will advise in the morning if I can't make it.

Hopefully you get better, Baird. The numbers seem to be dwindling by the day!

Regardless, it's a go from my perspective.

Here's the wine list so far:

2001 Chateau de Beaucastel Coudoulet de Beaucastel
2001 Cuvee du Vatican Chateauneuf-du-Pape
2001 Paul Jaboulet Mule Blanche

Duojet said he was going to bring a red as well, and Baird said he was going to bring something along the lines of a 1998 Vieux Telegraphe CdP.

If you think we need more wine, I could always look to pick something else up. Also, we could head to the tasting room at my cellar for a bottle after the fact as well.

I was going to bring a CNDP but it looks like we've got lots already. For variety's sake, I'll look for a Gigondas or a Vacqueyras that's suitable.

I'm out. I still feel like crap.

Sorry to cancell at the last minute but the last thing I need right now is vino.

See you on the 27th.

Another great offline, Thanks for putting this one together Doujet, food was excellent as was our host.

Hope you feel better, Baird.

Glad to hear you had an enjoyable event. Don't forget to post some TNs!
