Not fair. Asking an old man like me to remember something that I was almost assuredly involved in. Damn you!

Matters not. I’m sure I had a hand in stirring that particular pot. I’m sure we all up here in the land of rain, mushrooms and bears can find a way to entertain the lot of you bastards and bastard-ettes (honestly, didn’t know what to go with there but certainly don’t want to leave out the female bastards). Me next door neighbor owes me two, two I say!, fine pig roasts for the rent of his sows grazing on me property. You think Beaux Freres is just a winery, do you? No, they raise some fancy pork over there. Large animals like from the movie Hannibal. I can see one of those, at least, being a feast for you wine addled fiends.

Go off and get you vaccinations as we assuredly will up here. Send the young off to British boarding school if need be. We’ll have you. Oh, we certainly will.

There is no food tastier than pit roasted pig. Any time after three weeks from now I'll be vaccination safe, and there is no wine in my cellar I wouldn't be willing to bring to such an event.

I’m sure we can make this the Fyre Festival of wine! Maybe without the Instagram influencers unless some of you have connections. Cheese sandwiches and emergency tents we can provide.

Jim, if you can find a local farmer who will let us buy a whole pig and we can locate a cooker I could handle the cooking (not sure of regulations around this, I am used to rural Missouri). This requires a substantial amount of bourbon however.

I am in, whenever, where ever (ok, not harvest time). I've never attended a Berserkerfest, though I'm met many fellow Berserkers over the years. But Todd is absolutely, once we get past this, we need a big meet up and maybe more than one.

The most disappointing aspect to this forum is that I can’t meet up with everyone! I’m in for sure!

Oregon summer weather is pretty perfect, just saying.... and I think we can find a bit of wine, and maybe there are a few vineyards around : )

Brent C l a y t o n · January 29th, 2021, 8:41 am

PDH Midtown has a beautiful unheated open air shack for outdoor dining, perfect for the current 25 degree weather.

So, Oregon it is.
And what wine pairs with roast pig? Muscat! Dry muscat.

What you mean by a substantial amount of bourbon is a manhattan at PGC.

Like telling Tony Montana that you will need a substantial amount of cocaine...

There is no food tastier than pit roasted pig. Any time after three weeks from now I'll be vaccination safe, and there is no wine in my cellar I wouldn't be willing to bring to such an event.
