I did post the phone number for Les Nomades in a previous post...I heard nothing but great things about Les Nomades

We will be there Thursday night testing it out for you making sure it is up to your standards

Rick

Today I saw an wine e-mail blast that the 07 Janasse Chaupin was recently rated at 99 by RP

I knew where 5 were still available so Jim Hannan and I grabed them - one is destined for this dinner

Rick

Rick

Jim and all

I just remembered TCG has a table outside the room we are in, as I recall, maybe we could snag that table and we could trade some wines or as I mentioned I could check on the other Boardroom

Jim I am still expecting to see that Beaucastle.........

let me know
rick

Rick

I just received a confirmation on Bob so we are at max in the room I had reserved Jin you may recall I was holding 2 rooms - the second holds 10 and they are close by one another......but when it looked like there may only be 10 at Rhone as the Burgundy opporunity developed I let the smaller boardro...

Rick

nice pick

Rick

Jim Totally agree.........If Stu has upper level of Bin36 as you he know can handle a lot of people from a space standpoint....not sure the wine/food plans are though I am checking with Bob Dobis to see if he is an absolute Yes on Rhone...I would think I should know by tomorrow I'll do my best to ge...

Rick

Michael P The room I have just will not accomodate 2 more . ......we have plenty of great Rhones and would welcome you w/o any wine if I had the room. The larger room was already booked for that Friday night Let me check ..... I just called TCG and the larger room is taken and the mgr I spoke to ind...

Rick

The current thinking is to have the 3L blind.......if anyone else has a 3L to add to the mix by all means let us know We will have plenty of glasses so we can observe/taste the 89 LB and PB over a period of time .....we have not discussed when the voting would take place Put the two fighters in the ...

Rick

Any opinion on some themes or ideas
I was thinking German and Spanish but I am wide open becaue I know we all provide some wonderful wines

rick

Rick

Stefan

I am just trying to help out those that can not make it to the real Friday night dinner

:)

rick

Rick

Stu......Bin 36 has always been good ...usually not great but but a very nice venue upstairs as you have arranged Also, some of us at the Rhone dinner were wondering if you needed any Rhone grapes to help fortify the lighter weaker burgundy......we could send over some juice to help you guys out :) ...

Rick

Rob

I am sure you will bring some nice ones

For planning purposes, If we can pull off a blind 07 CDP tasting in flights - Rob I will assume you will not have any 07s
Perfectly fine we have enough and some highly touted ones at that

see you guys soooon

Rick

Jim
I am thinking we will be getting a pour of the single bottles and hopefully can try a handful
and the older Rhones will drink nice for dinner

someone else may have better experience than I ....I am flexible

rick

Rick

Current line-up with more to come.........we are going to need some decanter and will have to open them at least by noon on friday at the hotel Can we use white electric tape on the decanters to keep they straight but if we do the single pour with David's restrictors we will need to label the glasse...

Rick

Everyone owes my partner Bob Dobis a thank you on this.....I had to tell him all kinds of nice stories about you guys:)

He is a California wine guy but says he has a few French in his cellar

with any luck the snow will be gone by the end of the month

rick

Rick

Jon

Thanks for agreeing to be treasurer

the electronic payment has been requested and check will go out tomorrow

Rick

Rick

For the first time this year I bought the regular cuvee Mas de Boislauzon Chateauneuf du Pape was happy to get it.
Tasting it big brother should be a real treat
I thought I had snugged some of the Le Tintot but it fell through

Rick

Rick

Arv is a great guy remember when i had my apartment in NYC in 2001 he and two friends came over we all brought some easy to deal with food and put 4 bottles of bordeaux on the table. We sat down and did not get up till all the food and wine were gone I think that was my first off-line of this type G...

Rick

This is going to be one nice 07 CdP tasting with some variety thrown in I agree on doing the 07 blind - that will be fun...David please bring those pourers we used last year I have a couple of older CdP whites I was thinking of bringing too 07 Beaucastle - Jim Howaniec 07 Janasse CDP VV - David G no...

Rick

Let the fun begin - What fine wine should i bring?????? Time to start the thread on the wines 07 Beaucastle - Jim H (you bringing that lone bottle of 2007 Beaucastle CDP?) 07 Janasse CDP VV - David G's 100 pointer 07 CdP ?? - Vieux Telegraphe or Vieux DonJon unless someone else wants to bring them W...

Jim and Inna
Bob and Carol

We have room for 1 more if my list is correct

Rick

Rick

TCG just confirmed private room for 14, we are doing a 30% gratuity instead of corkage - hopefully that is OK I think we have a room minumum of $900 and will send me a contract - so that should not be an issue They will have 3 glasses per and decanters 630- till closing...............if we think we ...

Rick

isn't it nice to have a $14 btl with some age on it that tastes this good
nice find

Rick

Good job Jim

Rick

SF Ed You are correct it would be so rude to make folks carry heavy bottles and hurt themselves before the big fight...however I may need help getting them to the event I copied below from cellar tracker all the Champagne I have in my cellar - I happily declare what a wonderful occassion to use this...

Rick

Does anyone have any experience with this wine

Apparently only made in exceptional years?
Rick

Rick

Great
Howard I am glad you are in

Saturday Binnys has a 15% off coupon - while not a great % off in the current market it is nice for the more limited production 07 CdPs I have on hold waiting for this coupon
So I will break my month long wine freeze but only for these .....my last 07 CdPs

Rick

Rick

Here is who i think is signed up for Rhone - TCG has a 14 person room.....the below will be a nice friendly group of wine lovers and just plan old good people ( I am sure the Burgundy group is the same :)) We will get to share wine stories on Saturday between the two groups With 13 or 14 we will be ...

Rick

David I was thinking maybe we could open a number of 07 CdRs in the hotel and have for the day time sipping I will post on the CdRs once we get dinner settled What would you think of Janasse CDP and the Janasse Chaupin .......we could try all three Janasse's We will need a Vieux Telegraph for sure I...

Rick

Tim
If Stu has a slot left go ahead and jump on the Burgundy dinner

rick

Rick

Rick

We have a reservation and contract for all 8 who signed up a few weeks ago at Les Nomades at 630p They are a smaller place and we have to have multiple tables if we exceed 8...this is not a problem from my perspective For a table of 8 I needed to sign a contract w/ a 24 hr cancellation penalty but m...

Rick

Stu This could work out well to have two groups as we seemed to have struck out and run out of time on finding an affordable place for a larger crowd If you do not have a venue the hotel is suppose to be a nice place and has a nice area for up to 14 that they have used for similar event so i was tol...
