You running a newfangled calendar from the latest Apple iOS upgrade? Sunday July 1 being in June?

Thanks for opening this up. Would fly up for this from SoCal but I’m out of the country that day. Have fun!

Interested, but can’t do July 1st.

What about Italian, since this is Italian wine?

Also, interested and also can’t make July 1st.

I’m in, are +1s allowed?

Your husband is invited but you aren’t. Joking. Yes.

Let’s pick a date before July 2 and not too close to June 25. I don’t want a Monday and can’t be June 22. I should have all the carricantes by June 9, a 2009 Pietra just arrived from NY.

I’m very interested if it’s in LG. Has to be by the 30th for me.

Also very interested!

sign us up…grazie.

I’d love to join if it’s either July 1 or June 17 - 22. I’m out of town June 23rd - 30th. I have an Aeris to bring if needed . Good luck scheduling George!

I’d very much like to join if it’s in San Francisco.

FYI serious that I might inquire at I Gatti (Italian restaurant in Los Gatos) but only if they give us a screaming deal on a Tuesday. I had a very good dinner there this year. Not serious about Buca di Beppo. Golden Triangle is the heavy favorite. Asian fusion food sort of.

Only way I wouldn’t be able to go on the 19th is if I start a new job that week (which is a distinct possibility).

Is this a go for the 19th? Which Pietra Marina do you have, George? I have an 09 here, maybe a 10.

Sorry can’t go; Los Gatos is just too far for me on a weeknight

Sorry to miss you and your husband Yao.
Alan I got the 2009.
It’s a go at Golden Triangle.

I’ll bring a non-Carricante Wine from somewhere in the Roman Empire.
