I'm thinking I could bring either 2 bottles of '96 Veuve Clicquot La Grande Dame. Or, 1 '96 Grand Dame & 1 '96 Dom Perignon...

Okay, I "think" I just emailed everyone about Bordeaux.

Hard to know what everyone likes, but I'm planning on bringing two 1989 Bordeaux unless I hear back that this will not work based on whatever.

Greeny, I assume you are filling in the slots as we declare. Wink

Unless these wines do not work with the rest of the line up, I'm bringing the following.

1989 Leoville Barton
1989 Calon-Segur

I had both of these wines in 2000 with a friend and we agreed to try again in 5+ years. My friend called last month and said he tried again and both of his bottles were wonderful.

Now it is my time to try again. Wink

Possibly; I've got a little cleanup to do at amazon.com, and I'm working w/a vendor in Irving for a significant project in Canada for later this fall. I'll keep you and the rest of the DAWGS posted.

I guess that I should warn you folks that ain’t from ‘round here that some counties in GA require you to own a gun and that chew has a new meaning in parts of Atlanta. Smile

Greeny,

Friday night does indeed look great!

Now we just need to pick a place for the "before" wine tasting. Perhaps a bottle of Oreno again. Big Grin

One could only wish. What a way to start a day.... Cool

The hell with before, though. I want to know what Greeny has for "after." Wink

Sorry GD. Not enough options there. Smile And where are the discount coupons??? Razz Razz

Actually, if we're still standing, a glass of port and a cigar will do just fine.... Cool
