SF Bay Area/Peninsula OL - April 1, Divino

BillK · March 24, 2019, 3:33pm

I’m still in. If Italian is still a possible theme, I have a 97 Argiano Brunello.

Daniel_Kim · March 25, 2019, 7:15am

You’re bringing one too? What should i bring then?

dteng · March 26, 2019, 3:15am

Ok I told my +1 to get lost…
She’ll come to the next one.

George_Chadwick · March 26, 2019, 2:13pm

Don’t forget April 6 and the roll of quarters

ChrisStags · March 26, 2019, 3:34pm

Can Divino fit us all? And joking aside we should probably bring mags with this many people, sorry george haha.

Larry_Stein · March 26, 2019, 3:46pm

Yes. I think we had 15 or 16 last time and we fit no problem. I’m going to contact them at lunch to bump the res to 18 from 14. I’ll let you all know what they say.

I’m bringing a magnum.

Larry_Stein · March 26, 2019, 7:02pm

They said 18 is no problem.

George_Chadwick · March 27, 2019, 2:26am

They’re wrong. You’re supposed to divide your age by two and add seven.

Wes_Barton · March 27, 2019, 9:13pm

So, I should be dating a total of eight 26 year olds?

George_Chadwick · March 28, 2019, 2:29pm

Snow White has seven friends

Larry_Stein · March 28, 2019, 2:31pm

One for every day of the week.

George_Chadwick · March 29, 2019, 7:34am

The 97 Argiano Solengo (several occasions) is a perfectly balanced, and nearly perfect overall, wine. It would be very fun for me to try the Brunello.

AndyK · March 29, 2019, 3:22pm

Is anyone bringing a white?

I’ll bring a Rieussec for dessert, but don’t have anything Italian at home that’s ready… I could bring an Austrian GV/Riesling or red Bordeaux, though…

C_h_r_i_s_B · March 30, 2019, 12:17am

I’m not Andy nor do I have any '09 Foillard, but I can bring '09 Coudert Fleurie Clos de la Roilette so your Foillard Fleurie has some company. Cool?

Larry_Stein · March 30, 2019, 12:22am

Chris, we’re not doing that this round because 18 people. Andy and I definitely want to do that, but with our usual 12-14 folks. I’m bringing a mag of '11 Foillard Cote du Py to Divino. FYI, I have '09 Cuvee Tardive and '05 Fleurie.

George_Chadwick · March 30, 2019, 3:27am

ERGene is my Champagne muse and he guided me to some old Taittinger Artist (aged longer on the lees and I like that) and I’d like to bring one. Plus Ital.

ChrisStags · March 30, 2019, 5:22pm

For all the new or newish people, just bring the best bottle you own

Alan_Rath · March 30, 2019, 9:13pm

I’m gonna make a different suggestion: this is a giant offline, bottles will be opened and swilled quickly. It’s kind of a shame IMO to open something really nice and just have it poured quickly, spat, poured out, and move on to something else. I suggest bringing something enjoyable that you want to share, but it doesn’t have to be a cherry.

dteng · March 31, 2019, 5:02am

I organized this.
Ignore Alan.
Listen to Chris.

e_chin · April 1, 2019, 3:46am

Will still attend, though I will have to leave by 8. Andy I can bring a white for you. Will also bring a Italian if I’m not to lazy.
