nov 11 i can make it.

out of interest… shall we do a maison ilan theme??? I have a batch of 2011s that Ed helped me pick up (owe you one Ed!) , that I can consider to baby kill one or two for the good of the group. I think craig had some interest in a MI offline…

I’d like to do a separate 2011 MI tasting primarily for people who bought the wines, with others welcome as space allows. I was also going to volunteer my house.

This date will be difficult for me as I’ll be in NYC for a Chave tasting just before and we have the truffle dinner just after.

copy that red leader.

To confirm, Nov 11 is fine with me. Happy to do Allspice, Paul Martin, Sole… all good with me.

@dteng

So any requests for venue?
Let’s go for Tues, Nov 11.
With a smaller group, I will probably up the ante (bring a real nice bottle).

Any other takers?

Can I let you know after you tell us what are you bringing?

Depends who’s coming…maybe Mollydooker!
(Which is NOT an admission that I own any of the stuff… )

No problem Craig - we are here to help you overcome difficulties.
(Note - he did not say impossible)

If some of you guys want to go budget (because of the Nov 14 truffle dinner), we can go to Sole.
Let me know.

[Larry_Stein]

Sandi and I can make 11/11. With the holidaze coming up, I’m ok with going budget.

[Alan_Rath]

Sole is always a good choice

[dteng]

I’ll give Sole a call.
How many should we account for?

[dteng]

Ok, made reservation for 6:30 on Nov 11 at Sole.
Craig, Andrew/Chiara - in or out?
Anyone else?

Being that I assume this may be our last offline for the year (Dec is usually in the toilet for me), I would propose we try to bring something special as our holiday kick off and last hurrah for 2014.
Thoughts?

[CWun]

Hm… I’ll pull a burg of some sort.

Sure, you do that. But leave it at the restaurant for us on your way to the airport

[R_Frankel]

Sadly I can’t make it. Have a great dinner everyone!

[dteng]

Send wine.
We’ll forgive you.

[Larry_Stein]

There’s been radio silence for almost 3 weeks. Is this still happening?

[Alan_Rath]

Still on my calendar, do we have a reservation, Dan?

Soon as Cary cancels, we’ll know it’s for real I do know he’s alive, saw him at Rhys

[e_chin]

Looks like I’m out as the wife said no to 3 in 10 days. Enjoy.

[dteng]

Guys - we have a reservation for 8 people. We can always add/subtract.
I’m out of town right now, be back Sunday.

Let’s get a head count and confirm - a solid yes or no please.

[Alan_Rath]

confirmed

[Harold_Fong]

Yes. And thank you for arranging.

[Larry_Stein]

Yes for Sandi and me
