Powell is a long-time poster here and co-creator of The Wino Depot, another wine board on which many of us also paticipate.

BTW, does "me +/- 1" mean the range is 0 to 2 people?

That was funny.
Too early to predict my schedule. I know I've been hibernating lately.

Hope you can make it, Wine Joe. Let us know.

In my opinion, BA is not a good Italian restaurant. We just had a party of 7 go two months ago and I was pretty disappointed =(

The 9th might work for me. I'm longing to see you guys again, so tomorrow I will try and resched. any appt's I have on the 10th

BA did a holiday work party for 15 for us and they did a great job, but maybe I was too influenced. My boss knows one of the owners, that was a nice touch. Their server/wine buyer was interested in joining our offline tastings.

I am open to anything you guys have in mind.. anyone else have a suggestion? I think there are lots of choices down there.

It will be good to see you Danny.. Look forward to you coming down..

Maybe when LP comes into town I can drag SPO up to LA for a road trip to KL for a pick up of our club offerings, do their Sat. tasting and then do an LA wine dinner...

Off to a Hess Wine/Dinner at Pacifica Grill

Cheers to all

Wife and I would be down for this, as long as it's post-May 8th. I've been hankering for another OL, but life is too damn busy sometimes!

So what's the deal with the 9th?

Ah, what the heck, count me in!
I'll be on vacation...

Excellent! It'll be good to see you again.

Since the input on BA was mixed I've been trying to look into a few other possibilities, but this week has been nuts. I'll try to post somethiing tomorrow. But one way or another, we're on!!!

This place looked cool.

heard good things about it. I'm not sure about their corkage, but maybe the organizer can ask *nudge nudge*!

It's a date

I'm cool with anything but Mexican please.

Nice snowball effect to the posting... Looking forward to it. Any theme for this one or the usual?

If we go to that ARgentian steakhouse i say we do Cabs/cab blends!

I'm allergic to domestic wines

Thank you for putting this together, put me down as +1 for now. Thanks.

many bordeaux are cab blends if i remember correctly =P

Well if Powell and AireS are both coming, I may have to break my perfect record of not attending the recent SD offlines...........

I'll know by Saturday if I can attend...

I've been wanting to try Molly's and I'm thinking that their food will be more complimentary to the range of wines that are likely to show up at our events (and with ArieS coming down we need to stick to our CRS style ). Corkage is $15 - the high range of what we usually look for, but acceptable I think. Sound good?

The list I have so far is...

Definite:
Me + 1
Powell Yang + 1
Whine-oh (+1?)
ArieS
dannyk

Possible:
Wine Joe
clayfu
Gigond Ass

Well, hopefully sir Ass can join us
And where the hell is spo? Is it because it's a school night?

Looking at the website, Molly's wine director is Lisa Redwine, what are the odds?

Food looks good to me.

Something tells me she changed her last name, or it's aka...

SPO is off-line so to speak w/a virus.. LOL... But I think he is in. I am thirsty...

is it on wed?
any theme? since this is on the high end of our eating habits why not match it up with some nicer wines =P I'm still sticking with the cab/cab blend theme! (california/france/chile wherever you want it from)

ILL BRING THE 1900 MARGAUX MAGNUM. (wait nm, i left it in LA)

You can set whatever theme you want. If I make it, it the spirit of CRS I'm bringing whatever the hell I want anyway..

I seldom disappoint.

If someone says "Italy", I'm definitely out..

CRS = customer relations specialist?
heh.

how cute.
i want to name the current group
Team awesome.

Alright, we're set for Molly's this coming Wednesday at 7:30. I made the reservation for 12 people and that's where we'll cap it, in case we get some last minute interest, so that everyone can get a taste of what's opened.

No theme - just bring something interesting that you'd want to share with fellow winos. We'll stick with the standard $40 floor, but I know that personally I'm looking in the more interesting corners of my cellar for this event.

Can you put me on the waitlist + 1?

Powell is coming to SD and he didn't even post about it in winodepot? What's up with that man?

Depends on my new job training...should know by Monday.

Thanks!

i'm in foshizzy
