as a thank you for attending this gathering, tim will be extending all guests discounted pricing on the bottles listed above. tim has also promised to pour a bonus bottle for all the burgundy lovers out there from one of their star producers.

let me know if you can make it.

DISCLAIMER: i worked part-time at the weygandt wine shop in dc for 2.5 months back in 2011.

I’ve got a thing b/w 6 and 7 that night, but I’ll swing by afterwards if I can.

I know Thomas is quite fond of Tim. I’ll try to be there.

Really looking forward to this and meeting some folks that I’ve only emailed with or spoken to on the phone, as well as anyone else who will, no doubt, add to the festivities. A big thank you to Matt Latuchie for helping to coordinate and Chris Klingenstein for hosting at Domaine. Tooch posted the list, but I’ll also bring a couple of bonus bottles which may or may not include something Grand Cru from Cecile Tremblay and a Cazatiers from Serafin. We’ll just have to see what shows up…

Sounds like fun; I’ll plan to attend

I’ll try to make it, but it would only be able to get there later in the event.

I’m planning on swinging by. Like others. Probably later in the event.

great - should be a lot of fun.
