5

Is there any way you guys could pull of a small wedding? Not to much to ask? [suicide.gif]

6

Bring the wedding. Somehow I think nothing will be strange this certain Saturday. [dance.gif]

My mommy always told me to protect my treasures from strange men. [berserker.gif]

9

…and what men are you speaking of, Charlie?

10

cris whetsone and his long flowing locks of love they always memorize me. [give_heart.gif] Must guard against whatever strange things he has planned!

11

We’re not going. I’m spending the August travel budget on a trip to Chicago the weekend after FWM.

I’m becoming more and more convinced though that the ‘trade’ portions of these things are complete and total wastes of time.

12

I plan to be there both days again this year.

13

Agreed.

14

It’s a fantastic place to find new wineries. And the 2007s reds should be freaking awesome.
I’ll be there.

15

I’ll be there at least one day, maybe both.

16

I’ll be there on the Sunday tasting, John.

Hey Tom, great to see you over here. Looking forward to seeing you guys at FW! We hopefully will be pouring the two new Zins along with the Syrah’s.

John

18

Plan on going as well. Will make sure to stop by your table John to say hello, most likely on Sunday . . .

19

Please do, Nick.

Steve, from the other side of the table the trade portion is:
A: low level restaurant and wine store staff getting drunk for free
B. old fart distributors trying to kiss up to wineries with existing supermarket accounts

My day and $600 is better spent elsewhere.
