Neal '03 Zin mailer ?

don't know Ekoostik;

but will be up there in next week +- and will then let you know

Thanks C-Kid, sounds like its a fun trip, Enjoy!

Spoke with Mark Neal the other day and ironically I asked him the same question. He mentioned that it would likely be a mailer sometime around March. I absolutely loved the 02 juice and am anxiously awaiting the release of the upcoming 03. I will be happy to post as soon as I receive something.

Maybe some Neal is under the tree?

I better check ------


NO

I guess I will have to back and see Mark to pick up some more next week

California kid,

When are you showing up?

Pyang;

Hope you got everything you wanted for Christmas! (whell maybe not everything, as Sap is still in her abode in the good ol-Texas-- at least until next month )

I have to pick-up my car , which is being serviced, in San Francisco. So as soon as the shop calls and lets me know my car is ready I plan to combine with a trip up to Neal

I am hoping for next Tuesday!?

California kid,

Keep me posted, depending on the date, maybe we can grab lunch or dinner, if you are up to it.

Pyang;

OK

I hope to hear from the auto serv. dept. on Monday and then I can schedule a trip to SF to p/u car.

Then I will call Mark to try (to combine with) a quick trip up to Neal to pick-up a further order.

When are the Neal Single Designates released?

Pyang; -- At Neal 12/29/04 3:45 Wed. ---

My wife & I are going up to Neal around 3:45 (12/29/04) this Wed. (to pick up "a little bit more") and would love to have an early dinner afterward with you.

Let me know

CK

popeye,

Mark is still trying to figure that out, the release letter should hit sometime in the Spring I believe.

California kid,

Sounds good, where do you want to go?

Pyang; (dinner Wed. 12/29/04)

You know the town better than us but; we like Bistro -- Martini house (esp. bar dining area), Brix is Ok , do you have any suggestions along these line?

How about a dinner around 4:45 -5:00pm (ish) We will pay as your advice has been more than worth a simple dinner.

CK & wife

ps: maybe you can bring a split

California kid,

We can try Bistro Jeanty at 5:00pm? If that doesn't work, I'll find something else, let me know.

I'll bring a bottle, split won't be enough.

Pyang;

Bistro J. at 5:00pm will be fine! (12/29/04)

Do you want to make reservations or shall I?

As to the wine, all I will have are some older Neal Family and 2nd chance and Neal Howells and a few other assorted Neals. If you desire we open one I think you can talk me into that

CK

I'll take care of the reservation and wine. See you Wednesday.

Pyang;

OK 5:00pm it is!!!

But my trunk will be full of Neal anyway (I just can't help myself)

California kid,

Reservation is made for party of four at 5:00pm. DJ Hombre will be joining us.

Sounds Great

sad news is Gove called and I will have to postpone trip up to Neal until next week so I can meet Mark?

I will bring my fav. 1999 under $50 wine for a little enjoyment

cheers

California kid,

Yeah, talked to Mark this morning before I made the reservation and thought that may happen.

What day next week are you coming up?

Don't know as I will have to advise with "the boss"

Maybe you could advise us on another gem or two??

We are always looking for an excuse to visit "the valley".

see you DJH tomorrow

I think you liked Gemstone, right? Give Paul and Suzie a call to see if they are available for a visit.

I think Jennifer should be back in town next week, give her a call to visit Herb Lamb Vineyards.

Also Sherwin Family Vineyards if you haven't been.

Pyang;

You will have to give me more info on these wines. I have tryed to e-mail Gemstone and they have not returned my e-mail?

Whatever; I called Dave (Lewelling) and he will be droping off a case for me at Bistro J. as I can't leave "the valley" without a little more wine

California kid,

Just call Gemstone, easier that way.

I am confused, are you still coming tomorrow or no?

Yes I am comming tomorrow!!!

Okie dokie, see you at 5.

You got it pardner-- 5 it is!

(now I am talking like the WW) sorry

A great dinner and some very good wine

Ekoostik;

I know Mark has sold out of '02 but I found some at 20-20 (on line wine sales) for @$17 so I bought a case, and I don't even like Zin. (that much )

How did you get the $17 price. Online its shows 19.99 ?

I purchased a case and I think that offered a discount. (I may have paid a little more than $17 sorry my memory may be failing)

I am still planning to visit winery next week, as soon as it stops raining. You know us Californians can't drive in the rain

Thanks - just picked up another 1/2 case - hopefully that'll hold me 'till the '03's.

Also they have the '02 Neal CS for $39.99.
