I just realized I am double booked for this day and my early engagement overlaps. As much as I want to attend this I must bow out. Sorry. Frown

Pyang,

It will just be Jen and I. The party accompanying us to Napa on Saturday will be larger than originally expected. Jen and I are planning on splitting with them for dinner and meeting up back in SF after La Toque.

We'll get around to selecting some wines in the next week or so.

We're just about to head off to the airport and will look forward to seeing everyone. We're bringing:

'95 Cos D'Estournel
'95 Caymus Special Select
'92 Avignonesi Vin Santo (unfortunatly it'll be small pours from this 375 mL, but from what I hear one doesn't need much of it.)

I'm not sure I'll have email/internet access while I'm in SF but still have pyang's phone number in case I need to get in touch.

See everyone on Saturday!

Looking forward to Saturday evening...

I just stood up a 1992 La Jota Cabernet Sauvignon 11th Anniversary. RP 98 points, WS 89 points. We'll see who was right.

Wow. Two '97 Brunellos in the lineup. I'd be interested to see how they're doing and how long they were decanted.

Ah, where are our noble scribes? Wink

This was a great evening. The food, the company, and the wines were exquisite. Without having a list of the wines, it's difficult, but I think my WOTN was the 1994(?) Caymus Special Select.
