I am putting the feelers out there for a wine dinner in SF or Marin in March on either Weds the 14th or the Saturday the 18th of March. If we have enough interest, I will be happy to do the legwork for a fun wine evening out.
Thanks,
Dave

We have two open seats at the moment. so if someone wants to bring a +1 we currently have the room.
Cary, would be great to see you again. Its looking like the 14th is the preferred date. BTW I also have this offline posted on CellarTracker, so maybe we will get a few of the WB mingling with CT, or we could just have a gang fight, like WestSideStory or AnchorMan.
I will can either snap really well, or bring the trident.
If things swing towards doing this on Saturday 18th, or even Friday 17th, I’ll be in town during that weekend and would be interested in joining. I can do either SF or Marin. Thanks.
Bodega is a mixture of vietnamese street food and french…so we always end with their lamb chops. So could do Cab. Menu really works well for a wide range of wines.
I really don’t care about the theme, just wondering if there was one. I like the let place dictate!!!
Of course I’ll be BART’ing in from Oakland so I’d prefer something near or within a 10 min walk of BART station, if possible.
That’s Great Gene. I will call the 4 restaurants on the list this weekend and narrow it down to those that are willing to accommodate 10 of us with minimal corkage.
Looking forward to seeing old friends and making new ones.
