Mark,

I’d like to make a small request. Can we change table 6 to Barolos?

Mark_F_r_a_n_k_s · November 10, 2009, 4:22am

We’ve already got 2 Italian tables, I’d rather not make three. Would you like to move to the Barolo table?

Mark_F_r_a_n_k_s · November 10, 2009, 4:24am

You know you’re welcome to come by and steal a sniff or dare I say: a taste.

Ken_V · November 10, 2009, 12:16pm

I will say that the highlight for me last time was a taste of Pandora I got from your table!

BTW I think Steve M was making a joke about the Barolos (at my expense). I am of course deeply hurt and now insist on sitting at his table so I can be sure to torment him!

Mark_F_r_a_n_k_s · November 10, 2009, 1:34pm

I’m sure you’re right. It was getting late and I didn’t catch the sarcasm, shame on me as I am on eof the most sarcasitic people around.

Oh, by the way I’m changing the table to Barolo and Burgundy. [pillow-fight.gif]

Steve_Manzi · November 10, 2009, 3:10pm

I was never more serious in my life.

And please do not add burgundy to our table. Even I have standards.

Mark_F_r_a_n_k_s · November 10, 2009, 3:12pm

You do not, stop it.

Ken_V · November 10, 2009, 4:36pm

Steve_L_Gellman · November 12, 2009, 6:00pm

I’m going to start a separate thread for table 8 (California).

Mark_F_r_a_n_k_s · November 18, 2009, 3:06pm

Dale Williams - I received your check thank you.

Michel_Abood · November 19, 2009, 7:21pm

Sadly, I have to bow out. Have fun folks!

Daniel_Posner · November 19, 2009, 7:24pm

Then I am definitely in!

Daniel_Posner · November 19, 2009, 7:25pm

Seriously, throw me at the Burg table for now, although I would love to be at a Rhone table.

Michel_Abood · November 19, 2009, 7:37pm

I see they’re trading down.

Mark_F_r_a_n_k_s · November 19, 2009, 7:51pm

Two years in a row, I’m starting to wonder about you Michel.

Dan - you’re in.

Michel_Abood · November 19, 2009, 10:46pm

Yeah, but I was there for the first bunch of them. It just happens that there’s a trade show I have to attend right at that time.

The generosity of the wine drinking community never, ever ceases to amaze me. There are those of you who know the story of Anna McKinney and the auctions Jordan Whitehead has organized to help her beleaugered family out. For those who don’t, please follow this link to Jordan’s post: http://www.wineberserkers.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=11328" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;. A fellow board member and participant in this years Lugeresque Luncheon has most generously donated an Imperial (yes, 6L) of 1978 Robert Mondavi Reserve Cabernet to be opened at the Luger Luncheon. We will ask $20 per person from those who wish to get a glass or two of this wonderful wine. ALL proceeds from this wil be donated to the McKinney family to help offset their mind boggling medical expenses. We will need a minimum of 40 people to participate for this to happen otherwise the bottle will be sent off to auction where the proceeds will then be donated to the family. Please contact anybody participating in the luncheon who don’t frequent the board too often and ask them to join in on this. I would also ask folks to bring extra decanters so that we will have 8 - one for each table. If you choose not to participate, you will not be able to try the wine. I will hand out vouchers of some sort to those who are paid in full and also designate on the main thread those who have paid for this. When paying for the lunch, please include the extra money if you wish to join in on this. Again, an amazing show of generosity, let’s repay it to the McKinney family who really needs all the help and support they can get.
