If you’re in early for BERSERKERFEST 09 come join us for a great glass of vino and food!!! This is shaping up to be a stunner! The BERSERKERS have really stepped up and delivered some primo wines! Two more spots!

updated we’ll be eating at Bottega. Two spots left. Time is in flux right now, anywhere from 7:30 to 8:30 start time. Working with the restaurant at the moment.

Charlie, don’t hold a time for me…just found out a couple minutes ago that I cannot go due to some work issues that have come up.

11

Charlie - if there is a spot for me I would love to attend. I can bring cabs or bords. Please tentatively put me down and I will confirm later tonight.

Thanks,

Charlie,
Is there a corkage fee at Bottega?

13

si. hoping to work something out more manageable with them, but there will be a corkage fee
edit: they’ll have 4 glasses a person set up for each of us. Not sure the quality of the glasses they have

14

Is it just me or does everyone think this dinner is going to be awesome? Just sayin’

15

a chance we may have a special guest or two that are in the Big Napa Cab wine making trade :wink: 50/50.

16

It’s no secret that you and Charles Shaw are friends. I can’t wait to meet him. Wait, what?

17

I’ll let you in on a little secret… 2 buck chuck isn’t named after him :wink:

18

Charlie - confirmed.

Sticking with the 05 theme, I can bring either Leoville Barton AND/or Montrose (to even the field a little bit).

Let me know if we need some whites to start off with. I can bring some burgs.

Looking forward to it.

Best,
E d s o n

Scratch that. I will bring an 04 Shafer Hillside.

It is sounding better and better all the time. Hope we have something left in the tank for Saturday.
