Great Nic, I'll see you there.

Bill

William P

Check mailed today, sorry for the delay.

William P

My count has six couples and that is not including me. And I should not be included so six rooms is it for now.

William P

Don't include me as I booked the Omni through Hotwire to see the hotel and the rate. I agree that the La Meridien is a great price and a nice hotel. Go for it.

I was surprised how ridiculous the price was.

William P

I guess they rethought their position overnight. Still higher than I got it on Hotwire. Good Morning William, I hope you are having a nice day. Just below I have quoted rates listed for each of the needed reservations. These room rate quotes are all based on a Deluxe category room with a King sized ...

William P

Sorry guys, they need 10 rooms to qualify for a discount and they won't budge. I tried.

Bill

William P

I waiting for a response. And yes we don't have great numbers to negotiate but we'll see.

Bill

William P

Thanks Danny.

William P

Nic, I sure they have double bed rooms. Thanks for responding.

William P

I am trying to get a group rate at the Omni. Would the following people tell me: 1. If they are interested in the Omni, 2. Their dates of arrival and departure. The rate has not been set but I believe to be in the low $200s from my conversation with the hotel. Danny + Danielle Tim + 1 hm$ + Lisa + 1...

William P

I would like to help. What I need is, for those who are coming and want a hotel, tell me the dates of your stay. The Omni won't negotiate until I have at least 10 rooms to book and we don't have that. Mahalo to the five friends who have responded.

William P

This is the Omni's response to my inquiry email, I would need to know: 1. interest in the Omni. 2. If Trivago's price is valid. 3. Information to respond to this email that is, your travel schedules. "Hello William, Thank you so much for considering the Omni San Francisco Hotel for your upcomin...

William P

Ed, Linda and I are now in for the Friday dinner.

Mahalo

William P

I just booked at the Omni. I did it through Hotwire which is a blind bind. Two nights at $207 a night with fees it comes to $520 for two nights. This was more expensive than Trivago.com but I was gambling to see if I could get the Hotel Vitale (the only Hotwire 4.5 hotels in the FD were Omni or Vita...

William P

That's a nice place and a great deal.

William P

I have approached the Omni about a group rate. I tend to agree with everyone that the Palace rate is an error. It is a good hotel but not at its normal rate.

Bill

William P

Funny Jim if you cut off Wednesday, it goes down to 193.

William P

Howard, the Palace is $192 a night on Otel.com. Try using Trivago.com for multicomparisons.

William P

On Hotels.com the Omni is $193 a night for 4 nights from 3/23 and leave on 3/27.

William P

The Griffon is the closest to the event but as you know, you get what you pay for. It is a great location for a long morning walk along the bay, very close to the Ferry Building. The Omni is over by the BofA Building on California ST. and about 8 or 9 blocks. I've heard nice things about it. Price i...

William P

I definitely think this should be the pre-dinner event.

William P

Is there a hotel that most people are staying at or is it everybody do your own thing and will meet somewhere when we're settled? Sorry for my ignorance.

Bill

William P

Thanks Ed. I'll get it to you this week.

Bill

William P

I'm planning to be in the Willamette Valley for the eclipse of August 21. Arriving on the 18th and leaving on the 22nd. Totality starts just at McMinnville and south. St. Innocent and Cristom will be in Totality at 10:10 am or so. I have rented a place up by Penner Ash and Bergstrom out of Newberg. ...

William P

I thought both 2013 Hillside and Griffin's Lair were drinking well with some potential to age.

Bill

William P

Don't have much experience with Palmer, but 1983 was exquisite.

Isn't that true for every great vintage?

BTW Tom, Loxton's offering this year were great, especially the chard, syrahs and the pioneer blend.

Bill

William P

Well, I thought the 1982 GPL was a fantastic bottle of wine. Maybe I should bring my last one to the BWEfest to test my recollection.

Bill

William P

I loved the 82 Sociando. As I recall, it cost about $7.00 in 1984. I bought 6. If I'd only knew how wonderful it would become later in life, I would have bought more. But I was young to wine. Though in the first 10 years,it was a beast. Once it calmed down, for me it was a 10 on a 10 scale. Happy Ne...

William P

I was just tasting at the winery last week and I had taste of the 2013 "Estate" Cab. This was a special bottling that isn't yet available to the public nor was it available for tasting. How I got, well it was there and I asked. I was also informed that from hereon all wine will be estate w...

William P

No complaints here.

William P

4 16 30 04 is a coordinate for somewhere in the Central African Republic. Probably unrelated to the wine question, but a Arv said, drink it.

William P

You mean the model where the owners can buy more property to make more classified-growth wine, Arv? :roll: :roll: :roll: Aren't there situations where famous estates buy land outside of their home commune that they can include in the Grand Vin? If you are talking about Burgundy, not so much. The cl...

William P

Jim, my take, the article is not about St Innocent, it's about great vineyards. It happens that SI sources from all these. So the question is, you have good material, can you make a good wine.

William P

I don't think Feb. is the best month to visit. Maybe a little wet and cold.
