Let's do this in November. Do you want to go to Bu or a BYOB restaurant? Weeknight or weekend? My travel schedule for the next couple of weeks is pretty heavy, so weeknights will be tough for me. Let me know your thoughts.

But Friday's are no good for me.
Let's get some ideas going, then we could decide on the day..
BU sounds interesting, has anyone tried it yet ?
I went one night, no resevations so I didn't get in, the place is small, so we would have to reserve, the wine list looks OK, and the food nice and simple.
I went to "Les Caves St-Joseph" down the street, resonable low end wine list, good food, so that could be another idea ??

I'll throw out a couple of possible dates from my perspective. Sunday the 14th? Thursday the 18th? Sunday the 21st? Let me know.
Any other lurkers interested? JFL91?
Also, to all the other Montreal forumites...
Let's get something going, it will be fun !!!

We should have written down what we were drinking because I can't remember all of the wines.
2001 Brancaia Chianti Classico was my favourite of the night. '01 Caymus Zin was also good. I can't remember the winery but the '99 Barolo was another good one.
Next time, lets get together at a BYOB, so we can really drink some good wine. And save some money too

it was fun seeing you all.
The Brancaia was also my favorite..
For sure the next time will be a BYOB..
Looking foward to it !!

I had a good time with both of you and would be again interested in getting together for another offline.
Steve8, let me know about the dead arm 2001-saq strike contingent...


Can’t believe this was 14 years ago. Many of us still had spots on our faces. Need to do a 14 year anniversary this November.

Organize it and they will come. Although initially they will say things like "I should be in", "I'm tentatively in", or "I"ll confirm later".
The 14th anniversary of the Montreal group will take place on Friday November 23rd 2018. The theme will be wines from 2004, the year or just bring a special bottle. Or we can do Italian wines that must be at least as old as 2004 to commemorate our first offline that was Italian themed.
Attendees so far

Wines- 2004 Ornato or a 2004 Flaccianello
I can't make the weekend of Nov. 9-10. 2004 vintage sounds like a good theme.
14 years!! Count me in for this one. Shouldn't be hard to find a 2004 Italian in my cellar.
How does November 16-17 sound?
Works for us.
Does one need to be from Montreal to attend? Or does having attended many offlines there over the years win a ticket? ;-)

True!
Uncle john?
November16/17 looks good for us. I have several 04 Italians and Champagnes to choose from.
If it's going to be Nov. 17th, I may be able to crash the party (if invited).

You are invited. Will let you know the date privately when we have a confirmation from others.
Thanks Mim.
