Mini Kerfuffle with Adam Lee of Siduri: Dallas, DELAYED UNTIL FEBRUARY, 2012

Tom_Gutting · May 4, 2011, 8:02pm

HA! Thanks, Jim. I think we can get that right … I’m keen to make this. Too long since I’ve drunk with the Dallas boys!!

Are we looking to do this at a restaurant or somebody’s house? Also, are we going to commit a bottle of pinot per person, or is there some wiggle room for others?

Jim_Swayze · May 5, 2011, 2:09pm

Looks like a restaurant, Bill. I’ve got a couple in mind, but let me know if you have any suggestions. As far as bottles, so far Adam is bringing the Siduri, I’m bringing a couple of reference wines, probably and Eyrie and a d’Angerville, and Mike Miller is bringing a 1998 burg or two.

Bill_Tex_Landreth · May 5, 2011, 2:23pm

Restaurant sounds good, as long as we will have enough comparative stems avaiable.

I have zero burgs and only extremely young pinots from CA. I can bring bubbles, white or something TBD at a later date.

How bout you pay for my dinner?

Bill_Tex_Landreth · May 6, 2011, 3:57pm

I actually found a bottle of 2001 Skewis Bush Vineyard that should do the trick.

I’m in +1

Jim_Swayze · May 10, 2011, 9:34pm

Done.

Brad_S_c_h_i_e_r · May 10, 2011, 9:44pm

Thanks. When I get closer to the even - I will figure out what I need to bring. Probably about time for Landreth to order me some more Flannery’s at that point as well.

Bill_Tex_Landreth · May 10, 2011, 10:23pm

I’ll be ordering 10 rib caps for a party pretty soon.

Jim_Swayze · May 16, 2011, 5:02pm

I have to satisfy myself with this source of grassfed beef: http://www.burgundypasturebeef.com/public_home.php

Joe_Dulworth · June 14, 2011, 1:58pm

I just realized this is right in the middle of my extended weekend trip to Denver. Cynthia and I will regretfully have to bow out of this event.

Jim_Swayze · June 15, 2011, 3:39pm

Sorry to hear that, Joe. Thanks for the update.

Jim_Swayze · June 21, 2011, 5:03pm

UPDATE: Due to several factors, we are going to delay this event until February. Will follow back up later in the year with more details.

Sorry for any inconvenience…

Michael_Bowden · June 21, 2011, 5:17pm

Sounds good on my end…Looks like I’ll be in Tampa that weekend anyways…

Thanks for the update.

Tom_Gutting · July 5, 2011, 2:12pm

Should still be able to make it in February!

Jim_Swayze · July 5, 2011, 6:13pm

That’d be great, Tom. As I said to Adam offline, February in Texas is a better time to drink good Pinot than July!

Chris_S_p_i_k_e_s · July 9, 2011, 1:50am

I just noticed this thread. I’m interested in February, but I’ll have to wait until we get a lot closer to see if I can make my schedule work.

For those interested in July with Adam, it looks like he will be at Pappas Bros. Steakhouse on the 15th:

I believe there is a similar event at the Houston location a few days earlier on the 13th.

(Just noticed that it appears to be the same link for either event. To get the one specific to your city, you have to enter the local site for the respective city at the top.)

John_Kight · July 20, 2011, 7:18pm

I’d also be interested in Feb…I could most likely make it, but like Chris would need to get a little closer (and would obviously need a date) before I could make a firm commitment…

Jim_Swayze · July 25, 2011, 2:42am

Would love to have you both. I will be sure to follow back up in late December, early January…
