Welcome to COW DO. See you tomorrow.
How sad. I guess we'll just have to drink your share of the Malbec.
How can there be a question? Malbec >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>beer.

Just as a heads up, the Beer that you will see a lot of is Patagonia - the brand. Its not actually made in Patagonia, although some of its ingredients are sourced there. Its good stuff, one of the best "non craft" beers made in Argentina.
One caveat, when drinking Patagonia, stick with these two varieties... Bohemian Pilsner and Amber Lager.

I am surely disappointed in missing the DO this weekend, which is almost as bad as missing the World Cup qualifier on Tuesday between Argentina and Venezuela. Unfortunately with IAH affected by the storm I could not reschedule an arrival in EZE before tomorrow, and even that was sketchy since I live in a UA outstation and connecting flights into IAH are being cancelled or rerouted through hubs. I will say UA employees have been very helpful and open with me as they deal with extremely difficult conditions.

Everyone attending the wine tasting tomorrow is in for a treat. I still have a bottle of Motoneta and two bottles of Antologia 38, which may not survive the weekend as I will be joining you in spirit(s). I got an early start yesterday evening by opening another Malbec not on Gaucho's list for tomorrow.

I will be at SottoVoce early, at approx 1230 to catch up on some work.
I have a reservation under the name "FlyerTalk". Im guessing they will be seating us downstairs, although you never know until you get there.....
Look forward to seeing everybody.
