Diane_Kessler · March 17, 2011, 1:59pm

I can bring either the Horseshoe or Skyline Pinot - I think they are on their way.

Keith_Levenberg · March 17, 2011, 5:16pm

I’m going to toss out 4 possible dates:
Wed 4/13
Thu 4/14
Wed 4/20
Thu 4/21

Preferences, availability?
I’m thinking Peking Duck House for a venue, cheap and easy.

Gil_Bauer · March 17, 2011, 5:24pm

I would prefer 4/14 or 4/21. I could probably make 4/13. 4/20 appears to be the second night of Passover which may be a problem for me (and potentially others).

scamhi · March 17, 2011, 5:39pm

right now all dates are golden.

Jay_Miller · March 17, 2011, 6:31pm

Why not put me down for the Chardonnay and the Bearwallow.

Steve_L_Gellman · March 17, 2011, 6:38pm

I can only make a Friday or Saturday dinner. I’m now working nights Sunday-Thursday.

scamhi · March 17, 2011, 6:59pm

I am on the list twice at #3 and #8
