This is probably a VERY LONG SHOT, but thought I check anyway.

There is a good chance I will be heading back to Taiwan in late November, probably over the Thanksgiving week, Nov. 20 - 28. Any odd ball chance there are forumites or lurkers in the area that would like to get together for dinner?

Powell, not in November but the wife and I are going in early Spring, probably Feb. Let me know if you'll be there then! We do Taiwan about every two years. Wife's got some cute single cousins too unfort, they don't drink though at least not yet. btw, we usually crash in the Sogo(?) district of Taipei but wind up all over th island at one point or another.

wineismylife,

How 'bout $650...that's the price I got today.

That sounds pretty good but I'll guarantee it would be at least $300.00 higher for me from Texas.

Ms. Haggis and I might very well be in Taiwan for her niece's wedding and reception. It will be in Kaohsiung, but we'll be flying in and out of Taipei. So, it might work out. Will know more in a couple of weeks.

haggis,

That would be wonderful, keep me updated.

haggis,

Any update?

Not looking good at the moment

Ms. Haggis might be going, but I have a new job and can't take off for a couple of weeks this early into it. Haggis is disappointed

Hey haggis, can this wine list for dinner on the 27th change your mind?

2001 JJ Prum Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Spatlese
2001 Sine Qua Non Albino
2001 Walter Hansel Family Vineyard Cuvee Alyce Chardonnay

Holy crap, Pyang!!! I'm going to talk to Ms. Haggis right away! Still, being in a new job only a few weeks, will be hard to convince the "powers that be" of my absolute need to be away for a week or so... but I'll try...

Those sound like great wines to drink on my birthday Powell. Enjoy them for me

Of course Flubis. Let's just hope the wine get pass through the custom okay...

Oh man I hadnt thought about that. Good Luck dude. That would suck for them to mess with the wine. Make you open it and take a sip just to prove its wine or worse them opening it to see if its wine.
