Same goes for anyone else that would like to waitlist.
Paging Gaucho. There are 2 people that are anxiously awaiting your response.

The OP has been revised to reflect payments, wines, and attendees.

If I left something out, let me know.

Yes, sorry Dan... for a moment I thought I may have lost my seat. Issued my ticket today, so I will be there for this great event.

Cheers from EZE,

Come on now. That is much ado about nothing. We know her and know that she is inured to your shenanigans so she knows that the lure of the grape can pull you anywhere, anytime.

You could do worse.

I mentioned this last year, and I'll mention it again.

WineDo is not for shrinking violets. While you may be seated at one table, you're expected to visit the other 2 tables and pour yourself a 'short' pour of any of the wines. The short pour allows everyone a taste of the wine. As the evening goes on, you can re-visit any of the wines. By that time, the amount of wine left in any particular bottle will vary. Some wine seems to go faster than others. In some cases, it's a function of the wine. In other cases, you may be (as the expression goes), up to here in wine, and couldn't care less.

My wine friend Randy, from Napa Valley Wine and Cigar in Napa, suggests parking with a couple of wines and enjoying yourself, rather than have a sip of each of the wines.
I wish I was smart enough to follow that advice.

Since Mi Amigo Gaucho is joining us, I hope he wouldn't mind talking about wines from the right side of the Andes (Argentina) for a few minutes. Except for my trip to Mendoza in 2012, I really don't know much about wines from Argentina.

Your friend Randy is wrong, and I'll pull out my Winegaddah to prove me right.

Reading the excerpt, "Ma nishtana ha lila ha ze ..." because on all other nights we park with a couple of wines, but tonight, we have a sip of each of the wines." Now, which one of the "holy 24" will be the youngest and read these questions ...

since my basement is not well-stocked w/ Napas I am thinking about contributing a Mondavi 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve.
