David,
The Fri tasting is not nearly as busy as Saturday. If you absolutely have to try the ‘big guys’, go early . . . but there are going to be LOTS of wines to try. I truly recommend looking at the list of wineries beforehand and prioritizing what you want to try. Remember that Fri will be the library tasting - check out what Tablas is pouring and many of the French producers as well
Cheers
I guess you are, Mel
I’ll be there (have been almost every year since '03). Far and away my favorite wine event.
A little bummed to read that many old acquaintances won’t make it this year … but glad to see Steve A. will. Looking forward to seeing you again!
I’m bringing a few friends this year … folks who have become tired of me babbling about HdR and finally decided to check it out for themselves.
Looking forward to seeing you once again, my friend!
Likewise, Larry! Hard to believe we have all waited four years yet again.
Straggler here, but they had a few openings left for wineries (closing them today), so decided to come pour my Syrak, Marsanne and Picpoul! Should be fun - never been. Any practical tips welcome. Since I’m pouring at my table, I guess I won’t be able to attend any of the official tastings, right?
