Lucie/Jan,
So glad you'll be able to join the DC group.

Hi Nic- Sorry to hear the news. Best wishes.
Keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers.

Jay / Chris,
DC dinner sounds great. June would be better month for us- maybe a bring your own wine friendly restaurant near Metro.
Any ideas?

Wishing everyone a great time in Chicago! Gail Wheltle Patrick - I second your idea for a mini BWE get together in Denver. Tom is in Denver frequently and our son will be moving there at the end of May - so I'll be out there more often too. We have too much wine in our cellar (well- at least I think...

Trying to work out conflict.

Howard,
Thanks for taking so much personal time to organize hotel and great pricing for this event.

Hi Tom in CO
Oopsies - didn't realize d'Yquem would have to be an 89 ...... but it is an 89 tasting so....... I guess -- it's best to stick to the rules.
See you on thursday.

Tom opened a 1997 Montelena Cab this past weekend and it was so enjoyable -the kind of wine that just keeps you coming back for more. Montelena Cabs in good years are California's great imitator of really great bordeaux wines. A while ago, back in the early 90"s- we went to an 82 tasting of gre...

Thanks David- I was working in Balto. yesterday and stopped in Bin 604 - quite a store!! Gotta get Tom there to see it. Looking forward to trying the Leitz D. Another good reisling we tried last weekend was Joh Jos Prum wehlener sonnenuhr kabinett 2007 - lots of crisp but smooth tropical fruits- ver...

I love to drink Riesling in the summer - I've been looking for this wine in several wine stores in DC.
David, did you buy/find leitz dragonstone locally? Tom has been on the look out too.

Are you kidding? Deleting this post would ruin my late night entertainment.
Much better than The Office reruns.

One of my absolute favorites too !
We'll bring a good one along to the NY dinner in the Fall.

Hi Jim-
It was great seeing you in DC.
Tom and I would love to come to Maine in the Fall- That weekend is the beginning of a vacation we are planning.
Tom is flying out to Colorado right now. He'll be in touch.
Gail

Hi Jim-
thanks in advance for the whoopi pies!
Didn't we have some old port w/ the whoopi pies 2 years ago?
Old port and chocolate - yum. We'll bring some along for even more variety.

Hi Stefan, I know what you mean about being allergic to tours. Riding a segway is one of those things on my - I tried that - check off list. I'll have to suffer through the tour. Hopefully, our blood alcohol levels will be somewhat normal by Friday a.m - now if we were planning this for Sat. a.m. af...

Hi Danny, I'm sorry you and your brother aren't coming to DC but the Caribbean cruise w/ your wife sounds great. We'll see how the Segway tour turns out- my sources (hospital security people and DC police) tell me they are easier to ride than a bicycle. Tom is willingly coming along so I'm hoping th...

For those of you in town for the BWE '09 weekend I was wondering if anyone would be interested in going on a Segway tour of DC on Friday April 3rd? - There are 2 major companies that offer tours and they both hit the city highlights- White House, Capitol, Ford's theatre, etc. Here's the website if y...

Hi Nic and Patrick,
Your checks for the BWE dinner came today.
See you in a few weeks.

Gail (posting for tom, who is away on a fun golf trip in Florida!)

Hi Jay,
Please count Tom and I in for dinner.
Maggie and Greg will be coming along too - they're both budding wine enthusiasts.
Thanks for coordinating dinner
Gail W.
