Bill_Tex_Landreth · September 11, 2009, 2:13pm

No plans specifically, other than a syrah of some sorts with a Flannery rack of lamb tomorrow night.

Michel_Abood · September 11, 2009, 2:17pm

Tonight’s the going-away dinner for a friend, so likely lots of Champagne, Piedmont, Burgundy and a smattering of other things.

Tony_V_e_l_e_b_i_l · September 11, 2009, 2:21pm

Champagne, Rhones, Pinots at Bodega Bistro in SF tonight.

Tomorrow night = Chez Panisse. No idea what we are going to drink

Sunday night - Tracis mom makes chicken fried steak…no idea what to drink

Bill_Tex_Landreth · September 11, 2009, 2:24pm

Beer.

William_Segui · September 11, 2009, 2:28pm

Not sure about tonight/tomorrow, but with the first Sunday of football (and my first day off in 2 weeks)-- beer!

Veronica_Castro · September 11, 2009, 2:30pm

Going to a Redneck Wine tasting in L.A. Mainly to poach ideas for our winebar. Should be fun.

This is my ‘busy’ season and this has been a crazy week. I plan on going home tonight and popping a montelena cab just for me and waking up sometime tomorrow - or Sunday.

Bill-I had a bottle of the Cabot One Barrel with grilled lamb last weekend and it was a great match.

That’s a fun shop, Veronica. Small but well chosen selection, and, as you see, a refreshingly irreverent attitude. Make sure to grab a bite afterward at The Oinkster, just down the street.

Brian_London · September 11, 2009, 3:26pm

Tomorrow: 2004 Copain Eaglepoint Ranch Syrah
Sunday for football: 2006 Terry Hoage The Hedge Syrah

Brad_S_w_a_l_l_o_w · September 11, 2009, 3:27pm

I am in Rehoboth and will be drinking Dogfish Head at the brewery in about 45 minutes. Not sure what we’re going to do the rest of the weekend.

Kriss_Reed · September 11, 2009, 3:30pm

I pose this question to the gathered community: is there any Delaware product more revered and important to this great and thirsty nation than Dogfish Head?

ToddFrench · September 11, 2009, 3:31pm

Yeah, boooooy!

When are you heading over?

Brad_S_w_a_l_l_o_w · September 11, 2009, 3:41pm

I think not.

Kriss_Reed · September 11, 2009, 3:44pm

Touring and tasting at a few choice dispensaries in and around SRH/Lompoc tomorrow.

LMD_Ermitano · September 11, 2009, 3:47pm

Saturday dinner with friends is at a steakhouse. I’m trying to figure out whether to go with a 2002 Bocquenet Échézeaux or a '99 Léoville las Cases or I may just go with some Barolo or Barbaresco (haven’t decided which one). Knowing the others attending, some top-end Napa is on the horizon.

Sunday, I have no idea.

ToddFrench · September 11, 2009, 3:51pm

No, I mean tomorrow!

Phillip_F_r_a_n_k_s · September 11, 2009, 3:53pm

Phil,

You are treating Todd way too well. Don’t expect that shit from me in the future. You get nothing but a constant stream of Oregon Pinot Noir.

Bob_Wood · September 11, 2009, 3:57pm

Tonight, Rack of lamb and some sort of Duck Juice.
Tomorrow, ribeye and some sort of cabernet-type wine.
Sunday, pulled pork and something Rhone-ish.

ToddFrench · September 11, 2009, 4:02pm

It’s okay, Wetrock will bring over some $16 wine for the dinner.

And if we do a constant stream of Oregon PN, I’ll post details here so Bob Wood can tell us how crappy it is.
