Dave Mci, guess I am not the only one up at the wee hours in the morning. Wink

Emilio, see you in May, I'll have to make Mark drag out some prized bottles. Big Grin

BirDungy, I've started a new thread in the Buying and Selling section to address all questions regarding winebid, so I don't spam the board for others that's not interested in the information. Smile

Webmarin, your guess is as good as mine. Wink

mjneal, that sounds like a personal issue, you have enough wine up there that even all your kids can't drink through. Maybe I will just show up on a daily basis to dig through your cellar for goodies. Razz

Seaquam, look forward to meeting you in March, hopefully no surprises comes up to ax my plan.

grossie, just sit tight, I'll be back in Chicago sooner than you know.

Thanks to everyone for the kind words, this is going to be a great journey.

I'll have to agree with Killer B, you scared me into thinking you were leaving this site. As a newbie, I have looked at your posts with great respect and admiration. it would have been a great loss to this site to loose your wisdom.
now if your head is not too big to fit in your cellar, good luck on the new endevor. I love to see people follow their passions. follow your heart and you will succeed.

Congrat Pyang,

You better watch out when you are taking Ken's cash at the poker table. It could mean your job! Unless, they catch you cherry picking the good lots. Hmmm... Might be talking to you about selling a large portion of my B2K's for my backyard landscaping fund. It's hard to drink a nice glass of wine while sitting in the weeds. Eek

Once again, Congrats. You know you will be a valuable asset to the company. Cool

Pyang, congrats on the new job, I'm sure your passion for wine and the people associated with the wine industry will serve to make Winebid a better place.
It was nice meeting you last year, however briefly, and I look forward to the next time our paths through this life will cross again.

Cheers and the best of luck! Big Grin

All the best to ya Pyang! You are going to work for a top notch organization. Keep an eye on my wines for me.

Dave old man! Where have you been? I have been pretty scarce myself being on the road so much as of late. Good to see you chime in again with #1000.

sweet nectar,

I do have a large head, ever since I was little. My Mom used to complain to the elementary school I went to that the uniform hat we had to wear was not big enough. Wink

***

NE14ZIN,

I know you've told me, but what weekend was that again?

***

italian wino,

Good luck with your job search, if you have any questions, please let me know, I'll do my best to provide you with an answer.

***

Flubis,

Enjoy that bottle, it's always fun to have a birth-year wine.

***

Bucket-bandito,

Be more than happy to take those 2000 Bordeaux off your hand, shoot me an e-mail. By the way, how 'bout that phone number of your sister's? I am heading down to SoCal for a wedding next month. Wink

***

Board-O,

I am VERY happy to leave Diageo... Wink

***

tlily,

I am hoping, keep your fingers crossed. Big Grin

***

Thanks again to everyone for your kind words. Smile
