I will still bring tenderloin. Probably sliced and layed out on a platter. It should stay warm on the one mile drive to T's house. As we get closer to the date, lets get an accurate count of the number of attendees please. I would like to know how much to prepare.

I will still bring Pride merlot 2001 unless someone has other preferences.

6:00 PM is good. Stop drinking by 9:30 - 10:00 PM followed by the movie is fine. I have a couple of question. Is it OK to sleep during the movie as long as I don't snore too loud? What wine goes with popcorn?

slapshot,
i hide a bottle in the car!!!
p.s. will look for you on friday night!

Slapshot, I thought you said you were bringing a Paloma Merlot. Not that it matters, because I'm not sure I can make it anyway.

Cheers to GrapeFriends!

wineO,
nice catch,busted

You got me. But is was an honest slip. I am bringing Paloma Merlot 2001. I'll bring two if you attend.

wineO,
know you are going to have to come and i will up the ante!! maybe the duckhorn nv 1999 i think its better then the 99 pine ridge sld both in top ten duck#6 pine#4
the viader 98 is taking a beating on the form it may be closed up.or the 96 or 99 cinq cepages, think about it!!!!
it is top ten of the decade!!!

One month to go.

Time is firm--6 p. November 5 FRIDAY

Novi

Thomas will provide

1989 Margaux
1997 Tapestry

1995 Jacquessin Champagne--Provided upon arrival until it is gone

Potato Leek Soup for all

The bottles should be concealed so that we can sample blind--If Rich is willing it would be useful to have him record the observations. I had thought we would simply go through the bottles and comment.

Movie is optional--but encouraged

First wife and I are planning on attending. We will bring Paloma Merlot 2001 and grilled tenderloin.

sorry for not responding sooner, however I might be having some minor foot surgery a couple of days before your wine tasting and if I do I would not be able to attend. I will know in less than a week exactly when it might be and will let you know asap.

It looks like I will be attending with Zinfanman. The wives will not be with us. I will post soon on the wine...

Zinfanman: 1999 Whitehall Lane
WineO:???


can't stay late though. Must be at work early in the morning.



Cheers to GrapeFriends!

Tom,

ks

thomas,
please would you tell us at least how any are coming (food).
thanks,

I am going to make a 4lb or so salami cut 3/4th's of the way down every qt. to half inch. The salami is then brushed all over and in between the slices with apricott preserves and bbq's for 2 to 3 hours. I'll heat it back up when I get there. I got this recipe from a BB member on EBOB.

**Still working on a wine**

wineO,
how many do you think will be their since i cannot get it out of thomas.
the email was great.

I'm guessing between 12 and 14. The obvious ones are:

Zinfanman
Wineo
BEZ(2)
Slapshot (2)
Thomas (2)

You have to think that there will be others. Where is 69Lafite? There are other Michiganders that are on this board, but I guess they don't want to participate.

Bez,
What I know about the count is displayed on the Board. I have not received firm committments from the Pond Lady or from Dr. Jimmy. Everyone else is on the board.

TM

thanks thomas,
12,sounds like a safe number.
just might have to bring some extra food and wine. the wife does not eat seafood or red meat.well the wines

My telephone numbers are:

Office--734-434-3980

Home 248-347-4435

Looking forward to Friday and seeing you all

Tom

Thomas,

What process will you use to decide which wines to pour and/or which order. Or do you really give a ****.

zinfanman,
i don't think it matters, it's blinded.
i wished it wasn't an was being paired with food!!!!

I had thought we would randomly number the bottles and taste blind.

Keeping it simple has become my mantra.

Thomas

While I appreciate the support I want to be clear the at he MOORS 2002 was not the the equal of many of the special vinatages we consumed this evening.


Thank you all!!

Thomas Moors

wineO,
