Count me and Carey in. We should have settled in our new Huntington Beach digs by then.

We just had dinner there on the 18th. Not too bad for a mall. :wink:

3

count me in please! Love Marche Moderne!

4

I might actually be able to make this!

5

I would like to be on the wait list.

6

Jay,

Please add me to the wait list as well.

Glenn Murlin

7

Let me know ASAP when the “might attend” can be converted to a “will attend”.

8

“You got it”.

It’s in my calendar at the moment, and if the “boss” approves of it, I’m “will attend”. Either that, or I can take bribes from those who are waitlisted… [whistle.gif]

9

I knew this would fill up fast. Maybe I could get more wine and then we could add more people. [thumbs-up.gif] grouphug

10

Wait list here as well. Have always wanted to try Marche.

Leslie

11

Paul, let me know ASAP if you still wish to attend. For Glenn and Leslie, I give it a 90% chance you both will be able to attend if you are still interested.

12

Very interested! There should be nothing on my planner to get in its way.

13

I’m also very interested if Leslie comes, I think it’s her turn to drive and I’m along the way flirtysmile flirtysmile flirtysmile flirtysmile flirtysmile

14

Charlie since I already have you as a confirmed guest, AND I hate to break-up a couple, I guess I am going to have to make your desire a reality. [basic-smile.gif]

15

Charlie and I have a wonderful relationship which blossoms when it is my turn to drive somewhere.

Considered yourself Carpooled Fu! Cannot wait to hear about the trip.

And, thank you Jay! Will be great to see you again.

Leslie

16

Leslie, I am not quite there yet to confirm you and Glenn. However, I am 99% sure we will be able to make it happen. Should be able to confirm the last 1% in a few days.

17

Jay,
Yeh, Jay doing another tasting… We have all missed you man!!!

Please add me to the wait list… I should be checking the board more ofter…

Thanks

18

Glenn and Leslie, you are officially in! Charlie your “ride” is in place! Robin, I am working on getting you in also, give some some time.

Phillip, could you please confirm your spots. This in one hot ticket!
IF ANYBODY THINKS THERE MAY BE A POSSIBILITY OF DROPPING OUT, I NEED TO KNOW NOW!

19

I have some ideas on how we can notch this up a few levels. I will post soon on the wines (a few have been upgraded).

I think it will be fun to do some (NOT ALL) of the wines blind. My guess is that some of the NZ chards will stack up very nicely against the white burgs. Will people be able to pick out the NZ wines? Will some prefer the NZ chards over the Burgs? Should make for great conversation.

20

We are IN for sure.

Cheers
