Here are some possible dates:
Saturday 10/16
Saturday 11/6
Saturday 11/13
Saturday 11/20

Let me know

Any chance it would be ready on 10/9? Since ERMD will be up that way, and I'm really leaning on going up then as well.

10/9 could work.

Ooh, where'd you move to? 10/16 is out since Vegas crush is that weekend.

Most likely in regardless of the date. I had mentioned in another thread trying to do something when bawhm and ddeuddeg were here. More opportunities to drink wine are always welcome, though!

When are they here? And always with the drinking.

Copied from the Healdsburg thread from ddeuddeg's post: "We'll be at a Quivira wine release party and Farm to Table dinner for most of that day, but have no confirmed plans for Sunday at this point. Thinking about heading into San Francisco to see the Impressionist exhibit at the de Young."

We are arriving in Sacramento Fri Oct 8th AM and plan on doing some tastings in Lodi. Sat is pretty well tied up with driving and at Quivira. We're not totally sure how long the dinner will last on Sat. evening. We'll be staying at the BW in Healdsburg. Sunday is somewhat open, but we're not sure. Flight out Monday from Sacramento around 2 PM.

The first two dates are a no go for me. Either of the second two will work.

Looking forward to finally getting to meet you

Sounds like there will a few wooters in the area that weekend.

If that Saturday night (10/9) doesn't work, how is that Sunday afternoon (10/10) for a gathering? Maybe from 2 pm to 8 pm? I know some have to leave on Monday.

I would *much* rather do Saturday the 9th over Sunday the 10th so I can have my Sunday to "recover."

Saturday the 9th work for everyone? If so, what time(s)?

Just a thought..Bottle Shots 2010;wine and a charity

If (and that's a small one, probably more like when) I go up that weekend, I'll be at the Sibling Rivalry: Napa vs. Sonoma PS at David Fulton Winery (across from Scott Harvey's) that night (the 8th).

Date/time. Thoughts? Does that work? Best o' NorCal Wineries? Other ideas?

Again, count us (ddeuddeg and bahwm) out for Saturday. Sunday, maybe, depending on where/when.

What about the 10th? Does that work BETTER for most people?

joannevicious wrote:What about the 10th? Does that work BETTER for most people?

Yes, unless I'm out of town all weekend anyway.

joannevicious wrote:What about the 10th? Does that work BETTER for most people?

Yes

joannevicious wrote:What about the 10th? Does that work BETTER for most people?

Yeah, 9th is still sketchy for me due to roommate's bday, but since you're in Berkeley, could probably make it. 10th is free.

The 10th it is. Since it's a "school" night I would prefer starting in the earlier evening (6ish?) Does that work for people?

Fine by me.

Is this an open event? or invitation only?

rfrusso wrote:Is this an open event? or invitation only?

Usually open invitation to Wine.Wooters, but check with host/hostess and introduce yourselves here and/or via PM first.

And usually you have to PM to get the address anyway.


Usually not open to public, so no posting elsewhere or open invites, but hosts/hostesses will sometimes have their friends over as well. Probably since they have all these internet weirdos coming over.

Well stated, sir.

rfrusso wrote:Is this an open event? or invitation only?

As Mark said, open to wine wooters and a select few non-wine wooters of trusted wooters (i.e., some of my wine-loving friends and prob tenuki's usual accompanying duo and others?).

S.O.B.
she will be missed

Does this mean that you are in? Shall I count you as IN?

Count me in - maybe +1 depending on when she returns from Tahoe. She won't consume much wine, though.

Looking forward to meeting some new folks and seeing now-so-new ones!

I'm in, J's a maybe.

Bump.

tenuki wrote:I'm in, J's a maybe.

J's in, attempting to bring wine jelly. I have no idea what that is.

Not sure what wines I'm bringing yet. I'm sure one of them will be sweet/dessert type as I seem to have bought a lot of those lately.

Sweet. Seems like we're reaching a relative critical mass of people. I will provide a Wellington (Roussanne, Marsanne, or Chardonnay) and a Ridge (prob a Zin or blend). I obvs have more Napa/Sonoma wines if needed.

Funny, I remember you telling Sasha she didn't have to open her Ridge, even though she kept trying to

I will take a look and see what might be ready to drink. Maybe a Ty or Roche, probably red.

J said no wine jelly, she mentioned something but I forgot what :p. Can I get address please? I'll send pm too.

How many people are we looking at? It might affect which dessert wine I bring.

Make it 9ish .... woke up earlier with a sore throat, stuffy nobe, and a slight fever. Think I caught a code.

Started feeling a little hot last night, and took mega Vitamin C, but didn't help yet.
