I know a few of you won't know which wine you're bringing until you arrive in NY.
For those that do know what wine they're bringing, please post, so DLroads can update the list.
Still making the tough decisions on what to bring:
monitor
GrjAPP
aacharya
thewayofthefuture +1
lili
violist
Gaucho
NYBanker
challett
I'll update the OP as wines are posted.

I'd keep updating here...

That said, if someone has a 1994 Harlan Estate around and would like to try it out, I can even add it pencil on paper during dinner...

I have a good idea of the 3 (three) wines I will bring..... but I don't want to fix them in stone just yet. What is the deadline to submit the "victims" to the organizing committee...????

IMHO, I believe the list is very promising and all would be drinkable and enjoyable (knock on wood). Nice list of Dry (still), growing list of bubbles... we'd figure something for the dessert...It is going to be very hard to exceed the standard set in wineDO6 but I am sure Dan is 'pushing' us all to go the extra mile.
I do hope that the grape ex·pec·ta·tions will be met. (paging Eastbay1K)
For those wines already on the list, tinyurl.com/wineDO it will be great if you'd verify I got the data correctly. I am not sure I got the Taittinger bubbly classification right (paging tcook52) and the Hirsch Vineyards Pinot Noir Reserve classification right (paging frantic +1 )

As the theme is "Wines of Napa and Sonoma" the list of whites has a huge need for Chardonnay. Those who have not chosen yet should consider something in that category. Right now there are 8 reds (very big ones too) and 4 whites of which two are heavier than the other two. A little balance in that regard would be good.
Also as this is the season of Rosé in CA and with so many producers making stellar ones, it would be very representative of CA to have some Rosé.
The list is shaping up but the "Dry" descriptor still needs to be fixed as it does not describe what is in that section of the list. Maybe do like a typical list and use:
Main Heading--> White
Sub-headings: Dry, Off Dry etc.
Same for red.

If the Dianthus is not up to snuff I'll plan on bringing something white, although it's not likely I'll bring a Chardonnay.
ETA: OK, decided on a 2nd bottle. I've got a 2011 Hartford Court Pinot Noir Land's Edge Vineyards that I think will be fun to compare with monitor's Hirsch. I'll bring the Dianthus if I'm in the mood to bring a bonus bottle. And I'll let other people with a greater fondness for Chardonnay work on the white category.

I have a 2012 Tablas Creek Dianthus that I'd be happy to bring but it is somewhat under the buy-in and Paso Robles rather than Napa or Sonoma. (Then again, our Turley is also Paso Robles....)

I almost sent a rosé as my BB.

Chard is not blended in CA usually unless it is from Caymus and called Conundrum. The sweet spot for wines from your neck of the woods is the reds anyway. Bringing a CA Chard would be cool but would not make as much sense as the reds I can imagine you are bringing.
