Hi All,
Is there any room left for newbie to attend… I live Los Gatos and work in Santa Clara and would love to meetup offline…
Sean
So you told him I’d be there?
Welcome Sean - I added your name to the list.
First timers usually bring DRC for entry.
Jk
But it’s not discouraged.
Delusionally Rated Caymus?
Thanks Dan… but I have no DRC 
any guidelines on what to bring?
Sean
Sean - I would say that we like to bring stuff that is fun and interesting.
Plus points if it’s older, rare, etc.
We discourage easily found retail wines.
Yellow Tail and you’re banned for life (we’re giving Alan a pass on the Caymus he brought)…
But in the end, we’re in it for the company and friendship. It’s a great group.
It’s readily available. C’mon man, step up.
Ok so Larry no longer has pull at MG 
and we have to pay corkage…$15/btl.
First Trump, now this.
The world is ending.
In the past when we had no corkage, we were pretty liberal with bringing extra bottles.
But now, let’s stick with a bottle a person.
We should still have PLENTY of wine.
Having said that, perhaps it’s even more important to bring no plonk!!
This may be our last gathering at MG? So let’s go out with a bang!
(Sean, if you want to bring extra DRC, I’ll pay your corkage 
)
First two bottles are free, then we have to pay corkage on the rest. I tried to work it, but the new policy came down from the hotel management.
Larry who?
My other brother Larry
If Sean just brings two bottles of DRC, no corkage.
OK, so if the “no plonk” has been invoked and at the risk of being a one trick pony, what say you all to 1990 La Conseillante I just happened to find as opposed to the 1997 La Spinetta (Rivetti) Barbaresco Riserva Vürsù Vigneto Valeirano?
I await the group’s preference…
It’s unanimous, then. La Conseillante it is.
Definitely unanimous ![[cheers.gif]](/uploads/db3686/original/2X/0/0ff9bfcdb0964982cd3240b6159868fbdf215b1a.gif "cheers"){kind=small}
Maybe still too young…
…but…
08 Rousseau CDLR?
OK, I will leave the La Spinetta in the car “just in case”…
