put us down as maybe. I could add a Montrose, La Lagune, L'Arrosee. might have some others-have to check

ok, I see I will have to go on waiting list

Jay Winton

that would be great Harry. Hope you can make it.

Jay Winton

My father has asked me to put together a case of everyday Loire whites for him. Pricewise say $15 and under though I might throw in a couple of ringers. I can do this but thought I'd get some suggestions from the learned quaffers here present.

mr vino the devoted son

Jay Winton

I've been trying a few 07 CDRs with good results. There are some excellent values out there but they all need time.

Jay Winton

Harry, when are you in DC? Can we organize a dinner with the locals? No Rhones of course.

Jay Winton

The LL also caught my eye or did Stefan clean Macs out already? Happy Birthday to Lucie upon whom mrs vino conferred the coveted designation of truly "hip" at the convention.

Jay Winton

Maybe we should pick a time and utilize the chat feature to coordinate.

Jay Winton

For us, as we depart from Logan, a circular route would make sense so we end on Sunday evening closer to the airport as we leave Monday. Thursday at the BD's house sounds great and then off we go...

Jay Winton

It would be fun and efficient if we all were in the same place. I'll take a look around and, Jim, please suggest any hotels you would recommend.

Jay Winton

Our flights are booked. We'll drive up from Boston on Thursday the 10th and leave the following Monday the 14th. Hope this works for everyone but the fare was too cheap to pass up. Let the games begin!

Jay Winton

Southwest is offering $49 fares each way to Boston from BWI

Jay Winton

So what is the date?

Jay Winton

Thanks for this TN..maybe a bottle tomorrow night. Looks like time in the decanter will be beneficial..

Jay Winton

so is the date Novemner 14th? Jon, I'm glad Paula enjoyed the 89 LaLagune. I have a couple more left.

Jay Winton

I seem to remember the week and weekend after Labor day being discussed. Peggy has to be in Boston for business anyway that midweek so we could head from there. Of course, this may not work with everyone but throwing it out there to keep the discussion going.

Jay Winton

I won't comment individually but I thought the Rhones drank well as did the burgs. The Italians were a mixed bag with Howard's Faletto Barolo probably my favorite; however I was sipping at a prodigious rate so my comments are not official. Thank you mrs vino (now a board member) for serving as DD.

Jay Winton

No surprise here either about Laurel Glen but please keep mum about its ageability as I've picked up older vintages at good prices.

Jay Winton

Thanks everyone for the usual incredible BWE generosity. It was glad to see the gang and I've encouraged the palate queen to join on her own. Stefan, we will get over to Aggie country. Everyone travel safely and onto Maine and Chicago!

Jay Winton

Ok 88 Lagune and an 89 LaLagune (looks like no damage to this bottle) are pulled and will be decanted. See everyone soon.

Jay Winton

A 98 Beaucastel was one of many excellent Rhones we drank last night and it certainly held its own against contenders such as the 01 Pegau Laurence and the 90 Pegau reservee

Jay Winton

you two are missed! I'll get my TNs up next week. It was a privilege to drink these wonderful wines with such great companions. Thanks again Stuart for organizing and to all who contributed the wines.

Jay Winton

I've had too many bottles from Schneiders that were off to really trust their provenance a great deal and the main store gets pretty warm in the summer. Granted, they offer some excellent deals but tred carefully. It's somewhat out of the way for me so don't get down there too often.

Jay Winton

Welcome BD! See you soon.

Jay Winton

Don't forget me. I'll bring one or two... Nic I know you will but we have lots of wine already so don't worry if you don't have time to shop. I think the strategy will be to pick flights of bottles and open them so to avoid wasting all this great juice. Again, while I doubt I will be there much bef...

Jay Winton

probably macs as their provenance is better than Schneders, IMHO. But keep in mind both stores store a lot of their stock offsite and it may not be immediately available. Another store to check out is Wide World of Wines on Wisconsin Avenue-they have quite an inventory of older wines with decent sto...

Jay Winton

Ok folks, I think we have PLENTY of wine. Still room for 2 more. Anyone heard from sheik MichaelP of Dubai?

Jay Winton

Post any additions and I'll edit as needed. 98 Pira Barolo Margheria 01 San Felice Brunello di Montalcino Campogiovanni 1990 Faiveley Nuits St. Georges Les St. Georges 1990 Pegau Cuvee Reservee NV Egly-Ouriet Brut Tradition Grand Cru NV Nicolas Feuillatte Brut Rose 1996 Lanson 1963 Taylor 1988 Chate...

Jay Winton

I'm at 301-717-0048 if needed

Jay Winton

1 Lanson 96 champagne and one other red or should I bring another champers????

Jay Winton

and plan to come hungry to Dino-6 courses of delicious food!!

Jay or Chris, what's the glassware situation like at Dino's?

Dean will provide several stems per person and decanters. He is a winelover and a BWE member. We are in good hands.

Jay Winton

We will have decanters available.

Jay Winton

Stuart, we can do that, or... I've got an '87 Nieport Colheita I can bring. Not exactly the pedigree (or even the style) of a '63 Taylor, but it might do the trick if you would prefer to serve the '63 on Saturday. Your call. Jay, I'm not surprised that you picked the '63 Fonseca over the '82 Mouton...

Jay Winton

On the other thread about the Dino dinner, I suggested that my bottle of '63 Taylor go on the Friday list instead of Saturday. I shipped it to David, but he can hand it over to me before Friday evening, whatever is easiest. ~stuart That would be a treat. The only 63 I've had was Fonseca and it was ...

Room is ours for the evening so everyone can arrive when they like. I won't be there until 630.

Jay Winton

finalizing menu today. Please, if you have specific food allergies, dislikes, contact Dean directly at 202-686-2966 or dean@dino-dc.com If our number remains at 18, I will have to ask everyone for a $10 addition per person to equal the total cost of $1800 as I based my original check request on 20 g...

Jay Winton

that was a while ago. It may have been wine library in NJ

Jay Winton

I think David is shifting some champagne from Saturday to Friday. I could bring one champagne-maybe a Lanson 96 and a red for Dino.

Jay Winton

Harry,
did you get your DC hotel sorted out? Let me know if I can help.

Jay

Jay Winton

ok, so the 88 and 89 LaLagune. Caveat: the provenance on the 89 is not great as I've noticed seepage on previous bottles due to excessive heat, I believe .
