With the advent of diabetes, it’s hard for me to justify wasting calories on tasteless wine. Hoisin sauce and wheat pancakes will be tough enough. So it’s time to put together a table for people who want to bring wine that is worthy of an event such as this. Anyone else want to join me? I will bring a bottle of Pahlmeyer 2001, 2002 or 2007. If the choices of others make it more appropriate for me to bring a Rhone Ranger, I will instead bring a bottle of 2004 Agharta. If you are interested in this table, post your interest and proposed wine below. Although my general attitude is to have as few rules as possible and leave wine choices up to the discretion of the person bringing the wine, I reserve the right to reject any wine that will require an electron microscope just to find the flavor.

Dan - I don’t know. They all seem appropriate and like I said, I only reserve the right to veto wimpy wines. Pick whichever one you want to drink. I think Mark and Drew may join us, and who knows who else, and they can also be counted on to bring some “real” wine.
I’m in! No idea what I’ll bring as of yet. Maybe a bottle of pinot for the duck, maybe a cab. Might be time to check in on the '07 Napa. If I can get up to offsite between now and then (doubtful), then I will present some other options. Looking forward to it. -mJ
Let me dig through my '07’s and see what I have at the house…thinking Maybach, Larkmead, Herb Lamb, etc. I’ll look through the 'Cave tonight and see what’s actually here in house… -mJ
Jay - I can offer up a 2005 Lillian, a 2008 Antica Terra Botanica, or a 2007 The Treat is we are going in a '07 Napa direction. I was planning on bringing one of those anyway. So let me know if there is still a “seat at the table”.
I think that the PDH back room will set up with 4 ten-tops, in which case Tom and Dave are both in. If it’s 5 eight-tops, then Tom wins and Dave can come over and share. I will check with Abooboo on the main thread and let you know.
