Evite is out, but let me know if you would like to attend at jjgall77 at yahoo dot com
Thanks for hosting. Looking forward to it. I expect we'll see you and Mr. Happy on Friday? I'll more than likely be bringing something from the Northern Rhone, just have to see what has made its way down from the cellar in Seattle. Looking forward to catching up with all.

We are so excited we can't decide, so 03 Pegau, a good Cali Syrah and most likely something Aussie just to give Winetarelli some ---- I'm even baking a cake with Viognier to keep it in theme

So far, I've only located 1 bottle, the 01. I'll keep looking but I think the missing one was consumed by the Lizardkings and tpb at the last Rhone offline. Did we enjoy it? I spilled water on my notes and have no written record of the event.

It was wonderful! And I do remember you spilling the water

Mr. and Mrs. tanglenet have been kind enough to offer me a ride from the BART and I'm taking them up on it. This only poses a problem re: bringing an appetizer. It may be difficult to transport a home-made pesto dish or a risotto Milanese (the two things I was considering) on the BART. I don't know if you were planning on serving cheese, but I'd be more than happy to make a significant contribution to the cause, if you were -- it is easy enough to stuff 2 lbs of cheese in my backpack. Alternatively, I could bring some cured meats -- Breassola, Priscutto, Salumis, etc. The meats, come to think of it, may go better with the theme. Just let me know if either of these things works? Thanks!

Since you are a commuter, no need to bring anything! I have already been to the cheese monger at Oxbow in Napa. We are a cheese people. Cheesy people?
Only bring something if the muse strikes or you have a particular thing you want to eat. I am lucky enough to have TPB and more importantly Mrs TPB (sorry T) arriving early to help me. Our family slogan is, 'more is more' so we will have lots of food. I hope everyone comes hungry.
Tanglenet, I think we are going to have tons of wine too, so if the 2nd bottle is missing, just bring one.
Dress is very casual if anyone wants to know.
Spillage will be handled by wine away or a spot bot or sucking on the carpet if it's something really good
Looking forward to seeing you all!
One final note: The only cell phones that work here are ATT and Sprint. Our phone number is on the evite if you need to hand it out.

So much food I want to make, but will have to narrow it down for the transport. I don't want to invade your kitchen and make a mess, but we Southerners could probably spend an entire day preparing food, and all night enjoying it...

Change of wine plans! I failed to note what had been moved offsite. We are opening an 01 Clos des Papes and an 06 Rudius instead. See you this afternoon~ Happy

Oh, and far be it from me to be organized...anyone going to post a final list of wines, including the youngster that was popped moments before my departure.

Hi all- We had such a great time. How lucky that we caught the perfect Fall day! Thanks for making the trip out here and for the great food and wines contributed. I would especially like to thank TPB and Mrs TPB for all of their advance help. Since I have all of the bottles and I am feeling a bit lazy today I took pictures of all the labels and have posted them here Label Pics. Wish I had pulled out the camera during the afternoon, but I was having too much fun! Can't wait for the next one ~

Thank you again Mr. and Mrs. Happy! You guys were generous beyond what we could have ever asked for. The food, company and wine were all fantastic, and we were thrilled get together on such a wonderful day.
It was also really nice to catch up with all that were there. Thanks all!
