That sounds like a great recommendation, John. We should get together for some more La Conseillante soon!

Craig - are you back in town? Would love to do that - been building the library

Ok - I just lost my last response to your question, which is good, because it was a bit of tome as I cannot say enough GREAT things about Dewey Markham http://dmjwineworks.com/biography.php. We spent two days with him in 2017 (one in the right bank and one in the left) and are going back this year t...

So glad I had time to get back to this board and find this producer and sign up on the mailing list literally days before the release - order in!

Thanks all!!

Long-time Rhone lover here. First Northern, then Southern. I read all of the Rhone posts here with interest even though I don’t often respond. As very much a newcomer, it was a trip to the Northern Rhone and a day tour with a wine maker which started me collecting wine, although I must admit other ...

Great news - so glad!

Likely everything is gone. Now I am trying to take care of my kid. Once a mother, always a mother. Both of us can't be strong or down at once. We keep trading places. I am running on empty, for sure. I have tears in my eyes reading this. I'm going to look for pictures of our visit a couple of years...

dteng wrote:George has wine?

Oh, maybe not. I saw a lot of Boxes with a wine glass on the label and spouts on the side...

I'm in - are we bringing anything - or just drinking all of George's wines???

John? John? John's not here

Larry Stein wrote: we get reasonable pours of each wine.

Well heck, if there is no corkage, we can bring more wine.

Generous pours for everyone!!!

Alan Rath wrote:Definitely unanimous

OK, I will leave the La Spinetta in the car "just in case"...

But now, let's stick with a bottle a person. We should still have PLENTY of wine. Having said that, perhaps it's even more important to bring no plonk!! This may be our last gathering at MG? So let's go out with a bang! (Sean, if you want to bring extra DRC, I'll pay your corkage ;) ) OK, so if the...

dteng wrote:So what is everyone bringing?

I have a 1997 La Spinetta (Rivetti) Barbaresco Riserva Vürsù Vigneto Valeirano that I thought we could try, and perhaps also bring a 2002 The Standish Shiraz as a backup...

Alan, you bring the merlot.
I'll bring Virginia Madsen.

Hey all - so sad to have missed the last few - room for one more?
Yeah, you make #10.

Does the table seat 10 or 12?

Excellent - thank you.

A 2005 Jasper Hill Grenache Cornella Vineyard that was a HUGE wine and then a surprisingly refreshing Pinot Noir from Truchard in Sonoma...

Nice - my humble offering will be a very young 1996 Barbaresco....

PM Sent - thank you sir!

dteng wrote:Btw - OUTSTANDING group of wines last night...

Indeed - absolutely fantastic mix - thanks everyone!!

Done!

No soup for you! Sirs - My apologies, I have the 2006 La Conseillante is in off site storage, so no ability to decant prior to our meeting. So if you are online, please let me know if you would prefer: 1) The 2006 La Conseillante as I can stop by off site storage prior to arriving but will not be a...

Wes Barton wrote:I've got Listan Prieto to play with, so can't make it.

Yep - bringing 2006 La Conseillante

Count me in, or put me on the waiting list!

Agree with Brian about splitting it up, though I would recommend Yountville on the Napa side, and my preference is for Healdsburg on the Sonoma side. Yountville is a quaint smaller town, right off the main road (29, but then everything is along 29). Lots of good eating, and if you decide you want t...

All - thanks for a great night and helping me continue my exposure and education.

Looking forward to the next one!

- Joel

Nope, I am still in and bringing the 2009 Baricci Brunello di Montalcino - see you tomorrow!

Bringing stems is preferable, though they'll supply some if you forget. Doesn't have to be eyetalian, just whatever you feel like sharing. We typically don't do flights, just pass wine around the table. So one or two glasses is usually enough - or whatever you want for yourself. Perfect - thanks, I...

Hi All - what is the protocol involving stems, do we need to bring our stems like we did at Yuzu? Also, one bottle or two? I do not have that many aged Italians yet, but I was thinking I would bring either the: 1) 2010 San Polino Brunello di Montalcino Helichrysum or 2) 2009 Baricci Brunello di Mont...

Sign me up - I will be there

I can do either - sign me up!

Hi All - sorry I am out, totally forgot about company from out of town being here, see you next time!!

RS Beck wrote:Definitely interested.

I'll be back from Perugia on the 25th, so I could make the 27th, if that is the will of the sippers.

Thanks fellas for a great evening once again I was a little late and wants to ask if any of you would support me on my AIDS Lifecycle ride. A ride from SF to LA that will start on 6/5 and end on 6/12. Appreciate anything that you can do to help champagne.gif http://www.tofighthiv.org/site/TR/Events...

John, I'd vote for the bubbles. But really, I d bring whichever you prefer to share. And while you're at it, maybe bring something to put Larry out of his misery... deadhorse :( pileon [help.gif] [pillow-fight.gif] Larry, you know they got medicine for fevers, right? ;) Bubbles it is! For Larry - h...

Hi everybody - I forgot to watch this thread and totally spaced out, sorry for being so late to reply I was thinking of bringing a 2010 Black Cat, does that work? Should I bring more than one bottle? Thanks! Ok, so I updated the list. Gene or anyone else let me know if it is incorrect. Hey John, lo...

Not as lame as I! I am unable to make it as well - work deadlines just changed

Here are two of our favorites that we always try to visit when we are in Rome:

Hi all - I was thinking about bringing either the 2010 EMH Cabernet Sauvignon Black Cat or the 2010 Enkidu Petite Sirah Diener Ranch, any preference?

Wow - amazing work - well done!!

Craig G wrote:You should just bring one bottle. Otherwise we can't pronounce Gurkirpal's name.

Okey Dokey - well if I am only bring ONE bottle, then let's hope the EMH Black Cat arrives...

Sounds good to me.

If I make the cut, Sole sounds perfect, how many bottles to bring?? I am thinking the 2012 Bougetz Eminence Cabernet?

OK, Wow, newhere and just getting started at 54, so for me, never. I mean, if I make it to 90, I can't imagine purchasing something that needs to cellar for 20 years, but who knows? I have been drinking wine my whole life but just got tired of the hit and miss and decided to do something about it! I...

Welcome! These off-lines are open to anyone interested, but there are only so many slots available and they fill up fast, so it's always good to let the group know you're interested and put your name in as soon as you can. Often, there is also a wait list and at the last minute some may have to dro...
