My friend is bringing a 85 BV Reserve. Also a half btl. of Yalumba Muscat Reserve, nonvintage, from the 70's.

I am sure you have lots of lovely things in your cellar, but if you’re not in the mood to schlep we could take a 3rd person on our bottle. Cellar, well, I'll tell you a story when we see each other. |

I was going to bring a sticky but now, the notion of contributing to a Truly Great Bottle has its appeal, so please let me go in with you guys on one. Dan: that means we may be deficient in dessert wines, sorry.

I assure you that we are well aware of our host's requirements and that the offer to our friend violist was made with this in mind. I do not want to make a big deal of this, but please do not cast aspersions against those who have done nothing to deserve it. If our host has an issue with the actions or behavior of one of his guests, he would be well within his rights to let that party know directly and it will be dealt with in an adult manner.

<Rant> I know that things come up. Life happens. Business meetings happen. I happen to be in ATL the last couple of days. Here's what I would expect to hear from someone that drops out last minute... Hey Dan, I can't make it. If you could send me a refund it would be appreciated; oh, and hey, if you need an extra few dollars to cover the extra tip, that's ok. I don't like ranting on these threads. Anyone that organizes DO's knows it's a labor of love. Aggravation goes with the territory, and organizers know this. The particular WineDo has had multiple comings and goings this year. yeah I know. Stuff happens. <end Rant>. Looking forward to seeing everyone Sunday at 6:30. I'm going to add stockmanjr and plainsman to the list. They're going to confirm Sunday morning. This will bring the list to 22 attendees. Looks like $2.00 per person additional will be needed. dh |
stockmanjr and plainsman are confirmed.
Plainsman will bring a 2009 Bedrock Heirloom red wine from Sonoma. Howie will bring something from his trip to New Zealand. The final extra cost, sorry for all the drama, is an extra dollar. $1.00. See you at 6:30. |
Apologies to Dan for the late change but when I went into my stash I found a syrah that deserved comparison to the Red Willow and St. Henri. It is a Long Shadows Sequel 2009 which we liked so much in the tasting room but never found again. So the Conflict will sit for another year or two and we will try to taste the three syrahs back-to-back-to-back.

Please let me know where I can buy the magnum for $50–I might want to pick up another one after the dinner if I like this one. |

It’s 6:30 already & I will be a bit late. Weather problems etc. :( |
As always, we had a great time. Many thanks to Dan for all the work he puts in on this stuff. Next time I am meeting him, I will be bringing him a loaf from Orwashers.

I’m sure it all worked out. |
Thanks again, Dan, and all the participants! I arrived a bit late (~7:00) but food orders had not yet been placed, nor had wine yet been served.
The filet mignon was as delicious as ever, the wine was all very good, and the company was convivial as always. :) |
