18th works for me

Michael_Mahle · July 27, 2015, 3:11pm

I am in for the 18th as well and pretty much any/every offline event. Thanks!

Michael Mahle

Adam_W · July 27, 2015, 3:12pm

Also in for the 18th.

Tony_C · July 28, 2015, 3:04am

I’m in.

If we moved the time a little earlier I’d be in…otherwise will have to pass.

Jorge_Henriquez · July 30, 2015, 2:32am

Not a bad point…Any chance of moving it up to 7 or 7:30?

S_e_a_n_Dusseau · July 30, 2015, 12:50pm

I’d be alright with this. Jesse, could you update the list of attendees (including +1s) to the OP so we can keep this all straight? Thanks!

dlee · July 30, 2015, 2:33pm

Let’s move it to 7:30.

Jesse_I_t_z_k_o_w_i_t_z · July 31, 2015, 2:48pm

I’ve updated the confirmed/unconfirmed attendees and changed the time to 7:30.

If you’re unconfirmed, please try and confirm by Sunday. I’ll make the reservation then.

Any ideas about a theme so far?

Some Ideas:
“historic vineyards”
Old world/new world cool climate syrah
aged Riesling
grower champagnes

Totally open to all ideas! Let’s hear them!

Adam_W · July 31, 2015, 3:57pm

I’ll throw out the idea of an, “anything that goes with duck” theme. We can get a feel for everyone’s wine preferences and move forward with a more structured theme at future events. That being said, also open to something more specific.

Jorge_Henriquez · July 31, 2015, 5:21pm

Jesse, put me down as a Yes, not a maybe. To confirm, the Mott Street location right?

Tony_C · July 31, 2015, 5:47pm

Jesse, put me down as a yes.

Dan_Hammer · July 31, 2015, 6:32pm

Wish I could join in the fun, but I’m at a trade show. From the What it’s Worth department, maultiple Berserker offlines have taken place at PDH (midtown). At those events, Berserkers bring anything and everything. They go non-traditonal.

dlee · July 31, 2015, 7:02pm

So are we literally bringing anything we want? Not setting a ceiling or floor on $ or vintage?

Maybe we can do a poll?

Jorge_Henriquez · July 31, 2015, 7:29pm

David, let’s not get too caught up in those minutiaes (sp?) for this first meet & greet. I say just bring something you would like to share and wouldn’t be “embarrassing”. How’s that?

S_e_a_n_Dusseau · July 31, 2015, 7:43pm

+1 Let’s keep it nice and simple the first time around

dlee · July 31, 2015, 7:46pm

Sounds good! I’ve never been to an offline before so I’m excited! I got a little ahead of myself and even created a Google Forms poll… haha.

Jesse_I_t_z_k_o_w_i_t_z · July 31, 2015, 7:54pm

@ Jorge H. Yes! Mott Street! I’ve updated the header post to make that clear.

dlee · August 4, 2015, 2:26pm

Hi Jesse, have you made the reservation yet? If not, I can do it.
