Alrighty, y’all— Jay Hack will be in a drinkin’ mood after his illicit rendezvous with other legal compadres, and ready to kick-off (like Jay Cutler) Friday, 5/1/2015. And of course, we will have to babysit him on Saturday night as well.
As per normal, Sun Wah is in the cards (maybe we’ll order even more food?), and other options are BBQ, Italian, sushi yada-yada for the other night.
With changes in forumites travel plans I am taking point for this.
When you reply below, please note whether you are in for Friday or Saturday, or both nights, so I do not keep having to ask everyone this simple question…

I’m still in, at least Friday night. I arranged Sun Wah last time. No big deal to call them so long as we can figure out numbers. I ordered way too much food last time and we had tons of pork left over, but it was worth it.
In light of the Levenberg thread in Winetalk, I will bring either an SQN or a Saxum. Two years ago, I brought an Alban and it was great.
if anyone else is unable to make it and wants to try and follow up the following weekend (may 9 maybe?), Id love to meet up. I’ll be in sonoma for may 1-4 so ill likely have something in tow ill be excited to drink.
The plan is to meet at Briciola at 7:00 pm on Friday May 1st and to meet at Sun Wah at 6:00 pm on Saturday May 2nd. The reason for choosing Sun Wah on that Saturday is because they kick people out on the earlier side.
Reservations will be under my name.
As for wine themes.
Friday Champagne, Whites, and bigger reds
Saturday anything goes
Send me a PM with what wines you are planning on bringing and I’ll start a spreadsheet.
Friday wine . . . Bigger Reds?How about a 2007 Quilceda Creek Cabernet. Big enough? I don’t know that it goes with the menu, but I do not see bringing it to Sun Wah for that menu either. I have to hold up the Big Red side of the equation, especially since my brother in law is the provost at Cornell. I will also bring a Paumanok bubbly from New York if I can fit it into my baggage.
Saturday wine . . . 2006 Dönnhoff Schloßböckelheimer Felsenberg Felsentürmchen Spätlese. Last had this in 2009 and it was outstanding. Should go well with Sun Wah.
Scott – I think we told Briciola that we’d be 25 for Friday. We may want to pare down that number. OTOH, the group might be small enough that we could grab a spot in their outdoor patio.
