So, it turns out I'm visiting my old stomping grounds to visit Mom and tidy up some unfinished bidness.

In the process, I'm planning on parking myself on a stool at an old favorite eatery/wine bar in Hollywood, so If you're in the LA area and have a Tuesday night free, to taste wine, please join me.

I'll have some wine in my satchel to taste and take notes on, and barring any surprises winemaker Victor Abascal from Vines on the Marycrest in Paso Robles will be in attendance. The eatery has waived their corkage fee for this gathering, so what the heck.

Bah! We're meeting at tytyger's place in Thousand Oaks on March 30th! Go there.

Hmmm what time, you know some of us actually have to work for a living, while others work at sipping wine all day for pay...yea jealous!

Shoot me an address I will sacrifice my liver to taste more wine

Just noticed, when did your sig change?

neilfindswine wrote:...There will be spit buckets... (Isn't that a movie title?)

Sorry I don't spit on Tuesday nights

neilfindswine wrote:I respect your values; spitting is optional, and you're welcome to bring a bottle. Truly sorry I can't join you in Thousand Oaks on Saturday.

That's it, one more crack about Thousand Oaks and I will bring the 2006 Château de Beaucastel I have been wanting to try Tuesday night is as good as any right??

Shoot me the PM on where ... Free wine, always time!

Won't be able to make it that early, but could probably get there around 7-7:30 on a weeknight up to HW. It's hard to get out of the office before 6:30-7pm!

Actually, now that I think about it, we've got enough wineaux at the office I might be able to convince them to have a happy hour on site if the wine just happened to show up!

neilfindswine wrote:....I know it's a work night, and acknowledging LA traffic, 7-7:30 is a perfectly acceptable time to arrive, and work friends are welcome as long as they like wine. If you think you/they can make it, just give me a head count so I make sure there are enough chairs, glasses and spit cups...

I know why I reside in SD, but times like these almost make we want to move back up to Tujunga.

Time2testit and I are very interested...Especially since Passover is over at sundown. Where in Hollywood is this going to be taking place?

I believe it's not far from K&L Wines. Neil will probably PM you the address.

Dang nabbit, Neil!

I go back to Denver the day before.

Any chance you've been able to convince WD that you need to attend a "foreign" gathering in Denver?

I am not picking you up from there!!




Edit: No chance of calling in sick?

You NEED to do this on the 30th!
Just come on down a day or so earlier.
No excuses, we'll all be there, it's already set up...

Or were you just jealous from the other SoCal threads being bumped?

neilfindswine wrote:less jealous, more frustrated that I can't change my schedule and attend Saturday's event!

You are doing your taxes on, Saturday!?
Evening?

Probably a Friday appt. with CPA, and then he's got to drive down. And he has a mini-SWMBO'd as well as SWMBO.
