I can bring an '18 or '19 or, possibly, an older vintage.

As for stems, we can bring our own (I prefer this, most of the time), and we can have decanting requirements as well for all participants, as weā€™ll need it for many/most of these wines.

If itā€™s not too late, Iā€™d love to join as well.

Good news Brian. We had 17 people confirmed and Boa informed us that they can accommodate about 18 so yes you are in. Iā€™m going to sign the contract and put up the deposit tomorrow.

I am about to reserve an Airbnb and want to confirm the plan for BOA Steakhouse in Manhattan Beach and not at one of their other locations.

Perfect!

I have a buddy here in San Diego who would also be interested in coming up, so please let me know if someone falls off or if we end up getting a larger space.

Thanks Brentā€¦

I just sent the paperwork in and my credit card information. Boa Steakhouse in Manhattan Beach on 12/15 at 7pm! Yes, go ahead and book your travel. If you need hotel advice, let me know as I live in the area. One to check out, The Belamar, is directly across the street.

Iā€™ll let Alex and Graeme know - now we have to start figuring out who is bringing what. Iā€™ll start a spreadsheet, and also I asked Alex and Graeme if they might ship the '19s by then as that would be super helpful in this dinner

Also, while I said we should be careful about ā€˜plus onesā€™ my wife found out about this and now wants to attend, so I might have to add one or wait for a drop.

Started a Google Sheet, only assigned one so far, as @Jonathan_Matz is the first to state he has 2012. If you are on the headcount list above please fill in your vintages in the third column and Iā€™ll work on assignments thereafter

Someone is viewing the sheet and canā€™t edit. Can you put me down for 2017? Thank you.

I will, but I did change it to allow editing
