I’d like to attend if on 12th or 19th.

In for 12th or 19th.
I can’t do the 6th.

Can do the 12th or 19th, preference for the latter if there’s room.

Perhaps there will be sufficient variety released by then for a 2015 cru Beaujolais tasting?

Can’t the 19th but can do the 12th.

Hi everyone.

At this point all work for me though later dates are easier. I’d vote for a focused theme with blind tasting.

Thanks for organizing!

Ellen

I’m in!

I rather do a focused/vintage theme.

Champagne
Burgundy
Brunello
Barolo

I’ll be on a flight to Milan (ultimate destination, Alba) on the 19th, so that date’s no good. But I can make the 12th. As far as a theme, I’m for either Barolo or Brunello, but I would recommend some age on them (10-20 years).

I’m definitely in for September. Flexible on date.

All the themes mentioned sound good to me, but I have a preference for Champagne or Barolo/Barbaresco (with age), or Burgundy just based on my cellar.

Looking forward to seeing everyone again.

September 12th works for me as well.
I like the idea of a specific vintage as well.
Brunelllo is good since I don’t drink a lot of it.
Champagne - because it’s Champagne
Beaujolais is fine as well.
Barolo - I have a few…

The 12th would work best for me. I like all of the themes mentioned above.

The 12th works best for everyone, so lets go with that.

Let’s do champagne. Its fancy.

Food? Chinese again? GS was great. Asellina? Racines? Somewhere new?

What do you have to do to join this group?

Count me in, any pref for NV or vintage?

Hi Jesse. Is there room for me to add in a plus 1? Thanks

I would like to attend this if there is room.

OK, I can attend 9/12 for Champagne, please include me if there is room, many thanks.

It’s been a while! I’m in for Sept 12 Champagne if there’s room…sounds great!

Nothing. Just indicate you are interested, bring something interesting to the event and don’t be a d$&@.

I am not sure which of those is most important but we will leave that to Jesse to decide…

Btw, I know Julius pretty well (assuming it’s the same Julius!) so it’s not a case of harassing the new guy. He is good peeps and is known to show up at offlines with a rolling cart suitcase type thing of wine.

It would be great to get you involved in these tastings J man. It’s a fun group.
