I'm going to be in the Ann Arbor area for a day and a half next week, and was wondering if any of the Detroit area group would be interested in getting together on Tuesday night. I will be mobile. Let me know.

Watch out for those wolverines.....

Steve8,

Being an ex-Montrealer myself, you are always welcome to come over and help me open up some space in my cellar.

However, Rochester Hills is a bit of a haul from AA. Let's see if any other offers come up that may be more central.

If you can get to AA this Saturday, late afternoon, there is a big tasting of 1990 wines. This would be well worth your arriving early.

steve, maybe you'll get to meet the reporter from Day-twah.

Yes, he will be there on Saturday.

let me check with the boss!

I was hoping you were still lurking here Bez. Would be good if you, me, Napacat and any interested others could hook up.

Steve:

I would be interested in getting together on Tuesday night. I live near Napacat but could drive pretty much anywhere. I offlined with Napa in windsor last month, so consider myself fairly canadian!

Napa - what is this tasting on Saturday? Is it private or an open thing?

thanks, Dale

We are returning from Toronto the afternoon of the 29th. It is doubtful but possible based on how we feel.

Would really like to see you!

T23162,
Did you say you're in T.O in late August?
Hmmmmmmm.

Toronto offline on the 28th, perhaps?

I am downtown at the Sheraton leaving Monday.

I have no car.

Barb is with me and very open to an offline the 25th 26th or 27th if it can be done

My brother is also with us so you have fair warning that there would be two lawyers which in the States requires advance notice and a permit where the lawyers will consitute more than 10% of any social group.

The Saturday event, featuring wines of 1990, bubbly, and dessert wines is the MoCOOL offline. Usually about a hundred or so attendees with some pretty good stuff from their cellars, really good food. My understanding is the picnic is open to all who sign up in advance, share the cost of the picnic ($45)and bring a theme bottle. Google MoCOOL for more info, or check out http://www.wineloverspage.com/forum/village/viewtopic.php?t=2965

Steve,
sorry won't be able too!
will be on our way backfrom cedar point!
sorry again,

Cedar Point?

BTW, just got back from a tasting with the Texas crew. Pinot Envy was in town. Had some very nice "Old World" wines. Yes..."Old World" wines.

Is it the 3rd for our get last get together?

Napacat, Dale, I'm open to suggestions. Rochester Hills is about 30 miles from Ann Arbor? How would that drive be in the morning if I was to get a hotel up there instead of AA?

Steve8

If you need to be in Ann Arbor in the morning, Rochester is not the place to stay. Not the easiest of commutes, don't you agree Napa? If you are a trooper, that is fine, but I would think that we could find something a little more central for you.

Dale

Dale, it wouldn't be the first time I've given myself a difficult morning commute on a business trip to stay closer to an offline location.

wineo,
it's the 3rd!
you all ready res. down stairs!!!!

steve

What about somewhere in Livonia/Plymouth?

Maybe this?

wineo and steve,
m-14 is a mess going in an out of ann arbor! only one lane from Plymouth!

Thomas,
Fire me a private email if you get a chance.

<bump> Napacat, Dale, WineO? I could certainly make my way to Livonia for dinner if that suits you guys. I'm sure I have some Italian wine in my cellar. Assuming they allow BYOW.

I"m not in Michigan much anymore. I'm down here in Texas melting.

Just throwing out some suggestions. Make BEZ get off of his a$$ and do something.

Sorry WineO, I didn't notice your location.
