It's right at the bottom of the hill, maybe mile and a half. It's close, that's where we go when we have blackouts

Close enough to walk back! Perfect!

I'm not bringing wine because I am sure that is covered but all you folks with a few hundred bottles in your stash, but I will volunteer some food. When we get closer to the event we can talk through whats needed.

One of us can drive you back, too, I'm sure.

I'm figuring the same here. Although if SWMBO is tired from all the holiday cooking around that week it may be something less extravagant (but still Passover qualified)

Ok. I'm locking in March 30 as the official date. I assume 6ish, tyger?

We can coordinate KlP stuff. I've got a pretty solid mocha brownie recipe, for example. Speaking of which, I need to still sort out seder arrangements.

I may or may not be able to make it to this shindig... I will be in LA, but not really close (as Klez can attest).

Speaking of seders, Klez...

Right. I owe you a response. I'll get on that the next couple of days.

Can someone PM me the detailed address? I'm still hopeful I may be able to make it... and I could probably scrounge some pesach food to bring.

Same here. Directions that is. Don't look at me for pesach anything.

Guess I'm either un-invited, or just got missed. And I have goods to deliver, I think, and pick-up.

He only sent one to Joel and Sparky, I think. I have almost 2 cases for you.

Impressive, driving already!

Ya last one, last car to buy, last one to buy insurance for. Can't wait to be able to spend my money on wine

Pm's sent! let me know if I missed anyone.

Bump. Sparky, are you bringing the Chase vertical?

My +1 and I will be attending.

I don't have any aged zins that I know of. I'll have to look in my friends' lockers and see if I can find anything good.

Any requests for anything else?

kylemittskus wrote:Bump. Sparky, are you bringing the Chase vertical?

Yes.

molarchae and I are definitely in. I also have some older Ridge Zins to bring, but I think they're the same as tytiger's. I'll think on it and see what else I can come up with.

or a 2005 Peter or Scott bottle, but not much age with either of them.
Ah, or some
2001 Trinitas Zinfandel

Everything else is 2007 and later, but there are a couple interesting choices there too.

I'll wave at all of you guys from nearby in Torrance. Family is celebrating Easter and my birthday a day early so I can't get away even the 10 or 15 miles

Even if I find your cabs?

Bring your family with you..we should have enough wine and food.

Plus it'd be nice to see you!

At last count there will be 20 people from the combined both parent's extended families including 6 underage and an equal number of tetotalers. I do not think bringing them is an option. Plus my dad enjoys entertaining and would be saddened if I took this chance away.

RJQ - on a plus side, I will get your Sherry down to SD around that point in time, alternately, perhaps if I am coming down on that thursday or friday at a decent time for Ty, I could drop it by and you'd pick it up at the party. Also, AJRod has contacted me about the IH Chard.

Ty, your place is very nice and I will miss being there. Your generosity from last time has not been forgotten :-)

Klez - once again it would be nice. I wish I could say that i'd see you on the 23rd up here but SWMBO is living in Sacramento these days so the great majority of weekends are spent there.

Yup, gotcha. Didn't realize she was in Sac now. If the two of you want to swing by our house in Sonoma this weekend you're welcome to also.

Just give me a days notice and i'll make sure i'm available for a drop off.

And I know family always trumps a party

Maybe

W.W. old timer! Ill add you to the maybe list.

Sparky, do you mind if I invite your nephew and niece? PM me. He likes to drink and she likes to be social. It's perfect.

Is this some choreographed train-wreck in the works?

rjquillin wrote:Is this some choreographed train-wreck in the works?

Absolutely not. Just figured I would ask the sparkly one first before I invited some of own family. I could see how you would arrive at that conclusion though.

No, that's terrific. But just them!
