What does everyone think? I would love some feedback. Stemware is fine, no need to bring your own. I will make sure spit/dump bucket be available for the table.

This looks great. Thanks again for being our food captain. Also, fun to try new places.

I’m bringing - 2011 Delas Freres Saint-Joseph Sainte Epine!

I love that bottle from Delas. The 2010 was really good.

Bringing a 2012 Allemand Chaillot

See you guys in the new year!

Sounds great. I’m in for a 1999 Gaillard Cote Rotie Cote Rozier.

My +1 and I will bring an '03 and '04 Guigal Chateau d’Ampuis Cote Rotie. I’ve had one of the '03 from the cellar and they are drinking great. Interested to compare to the “normalized” '04 vintage.

I’m going to try to dig up the 05 Guigal d’Ampius.

Food looks great!

Sounds great guys. I’d love to join if you have room for another. Have plenty Levet, Gonon, etc. to contribute.

Welcome Sean, see you on the 11th.

Bah! Thursdays are a no-go for me. I’ll join in on the next one!

It’s a Monday…

Hi Tony, menu looks great, please count me (and +1) if possible!

I’d also like to join in if there’s space.

We have a 14 seat round table, so welcome Aaron and Larry+1.

Oh boy, off to a rough start this year! I was looking at Feb 2016’s calendar [head-bang.gif]

I’ll be there!

I’m interested if there’s still room.

I see that there may not be any space left, but if there is, or if anyone cancels, I’d love to join!

Sounds like another great event. I can’t make this one but it looks like there is a big turnout so far anyway. I would have loved to join as the Northern Rhone is an area I want to learn more about and taste some different wines from but I will just have to wait for the tasting notes from this event instead… :slight_smile:

Enjoy!!!
