Darn family functions.

How about another gathering at my Wine Lockers?

Still need to reduce inventory!


Sept. 10th or 17th???


24th I may head up to Scott's in Amador for the Wine Stomp.

neat. I also would like to reduce my wine numbers, but i'm in PAsadena storage. Unless I move all mine down towards yours. remind me the link and how much tey cost?

I can bring a large stash...
10th probably preference, though 17th might also be better

Month??? Date??????? I'm very keen on after Sept 27th, and before Oct 8th. Yes, I'm very flexible....

The point is to drink down zTimBz and My cellars, not yours!

The 10th may be too close (2 weeks) now, and the 17th doesn't work for me anymore. The 24th is Scott Harvey's Wine Stomp in Amador, which I could miss.

Depends on zTimBz's availability as well.


Wine Cellar Club in Irvine, not far from John Wayne Airport.

Okay, we need a show of hands for those who can make it on Sept. 10th!!


Speak up now, or it may go to October!

We are a definite maybe...!

Actually, I think I'm too busy until after the new year. Picked up an extra job :o/

Bueller?

9/10 would be out for me and my +1. We have a concert on 9/9 and an early commitment on 9/11. 9/17 is likely out too so farther out for September or early October would be my vote.

It's last minute, but I could do the 10th.

The 17th is out for me - dance practice for the Playford Ball. (Ditto the 18th, plus that weekend is LB Pirate Faire.)

well... since i also have a locker there (albeit much smaller than, and thanks to mark or tim's) i guess i'm gonna go to see if i can organize/catalog a bit... probably later in the afternoon.... let me know if y'all are gonna be there...

Made plans for this weekend (10th), but the 24th is now open (not going up to Scott's, since the next week is my IT conference). So how does Sept. 24th work for everyone?

That was the weekend before ....




Oh, and Speak Like a Pirate Day is next Monday, the 19th!

9/24 is out for me. Sis's baby shower and my +1 is working most of the day.

Jeebus, it's damn hard to find a free weekend these days.

How is Oct. 8th for everyone?

Can't make it then...holiday weekend and all. If you postpone again...let us know. If not, L'chaim!

Ack! My bad. Should have looked on the calendar, although at first I was going "Really? Columbus Day?"

So how is the 15th for everyone?

MarkDaSpark wrote:So how is the 15th for everyone?

I'll be in San Francisco that weekend.

How about the 22nd?

Sister's bday celebration. Next weekend I'll be out of town as well.


We could try a Friday night, possibly. I think they might let us do that. I'll check and see on Monday.

Weekend of the 15th is a birthday weekend for us as well, but we were waiting to see if others were ok for that date before letting you know if we could swing it. Since Tim can't do it that weekend, let us know the other options of course. At least this means we all have a lot of activities in our lives, which is a good thing.

What about the 23rd? We could drink on Sunday

Nostrom0 wrote:What about the 23rd? We could drink on Sunday

Umm, kinda hard to do, unless we break in. Wine locker is closed on Sundays.

Okay, enough delays. Tim, how does Nov. 12th look?


Oh, and I think you need to edit the title of the thread, since we're now in October, and it looks like we'll be hosting in November!

Or would the 5th be better? Mewalk is coming down the 14th, so I might move my Syrah bottling to that weekend and we could do the raid on the 5th instead?

No, no, no... let's do the raid on the 12th and you go ahead and bottle on the 5th. That's what you get for teasing... neener.

November 12th is okay by me. So far...

Excellent!


Now, what time do we want to start? Realizing that we have to be out by 7pm (they close up then).

Do we want that room again, or the area by my wine lockers?

Also, there are some restaurants where Tim & I get discounts on corkage. Houston's is nice, and we ate at Lucille's (not on the list) last time.

Are we on for this weekend?

It's on my calendar.

Sparky, have you made reservations?

For what time?

How about doing it the same as last time?

zTimothyBz wrote:How about doing it the same as last time?

3:30 pm to 6:30 pm (Dinner afterwards elsewhere) ???


Does that sound good to everyone??


They don't open until 10, so I will call then to see what is available. Hopefully the kitchen is still open, or the area in the first picture (right by 2 of my lockers).
