Following this thread, and while I agree with Jim that Romney will be the nominee, I think the process has made him a walking dead man.

The **** Dupont/National Zoo now on Hotwire again for $73/night is the very same Hilton Washington.
Those of you who book at $73 have more money to spend on wine.

Amenities are listed Fitness Center, Restaurant(s), Business Center, High-Speed Internet.

The Wash. Hilton is the place I saw on Hotwire a few weeks ago for $95 that seemed to get no love......But it would certainly be a good backup so you can consider making refundable reservations and see what i turn up in the next few weeks.

The last weekend of March is projected to be peak cherry blossom weekend. So far, there are no options better than the one I posted a couple of weeks ago (above, and which has expired).
Peak hotwire/priceline time is over the next 2 weeks. Stay tuned.

No. Hotwire is non-refundable. so if you book now, that's where you will be. and what is available now on Hotwire won't likely be what's available in 2 weeks.

Please post to the forum if you reserve on Hotwire.

I have a lead. If you go to Hotwire.com and fill in the hotel dates of 3/29 - 4/1 you should get the image attached as a result. The circled result in Dupont should be the Washington Hilton & Towers. It get's OK reviews, and I there will likely be a better option in February as we get closer to ...

Guys: The only way this will happen is when I am able to determine the pricing on priceline based on results from others (outside BWE). I am tracking this, but timing is simply not something I can control. It could be next week, and it could be toward the end of February. If we do not have something...

hm$

It will be at least a week.

hm$

hm$

Calm down everyone. i am working on it.

By some good fortune, I believe I will have access to a stash of '94 Fonseca Vintage Port for aboout $110/bottle from a local retailer's closeout sale. More than I need.
If you are attending BWE 2012 and want any, just post your email below. If they have extras, I will email you back.

I don't care enough to make a point of it. The 3 most important things are, of course, the people, the people, and the people, followed by the wine in 4th place. The food at CP was pretty good, but I thought it was unimaginative and somewhat pricey (for what it was). I will check with Tosca to see i...

hm$

I will call Tosca, but I did not see a room that would accommodate a group our size.

hm$

hm$

I don't live in DC, but my family does. We ate at Tosca 2 weeks ago, and it was really excellent.

hm$

The minute the pants come down, I am stepping out for a haircut.

hm$

hm$

us too..

hm$

An excellent, excellent, decision. Your wisdom transcends time and space, o benevolent dictator.
See you there.

You humble toadie,

In 1999, I said that the (one) upside of Shrub's election to the Presidency was that Texas could not possibly do worse for a Governor. I sure won't make that mistake again.

hm$

hm$

I agree we should not have it in a place where people are not willing to organize it or a place people aren't excited to go.

hm$

hm$

It's not Texas' turn because we had it....never.
Lisa and I will go where-ever you all decide. But I have a great place in Brooklyn if we do NYC.

if the bond is 2K, just write a check to the clerk.

There was no labeling mistake, but it is possible that at least 1 of the Lynch Bages was damaged. B was liked by many (not me) and the differential between 1st and 3rd was IIRC, less than 5 points out of 70+.

hm$

hm$

Lisa and I are bringing an '89 or '90 Gazin (in keeping with the theme) and an older CaliCab. Traci (who is coming Sat. too) is planning to come as well.

hm$

I have some '90 Filhot Creme de Tete

hm$

we will be there (at Ed & Lisa's).

hm$

hm$

I opened this wine for my parents' 50th Anniversary. 3rd time I have had it. It is extraordinary.

hm$

hm$

I have a mag of '90 Leoville Barton that I can bring.

hm$

hm$

i will work on the 90s tomorrow.

hm$

I am bringing an older Beaucastel in addition to the Quet '07.
I could also bring a german or other dessert wine....

hm$

hm$

The Affinia has agreed to put some wine glasses in the room. I think there may be a $2-3 charge. Let me know if you don't want them.

hm$

hm$

My check (4 persons, Lisa, me, and the McLaughlins) is in the mail.

hm$

hm$

I have the '07 Quet (alleged to be 100pts by you-know-who) and will bring something else, probably older.

I think we should do the '07s blind.

hm$

hm$

I am starting to get a complex about not being wanted. . .

Lisa and I still want to come.

hm$

hm$

Lisa and I wanted to come......

hm$

hm$

I assume that Ben will still be arranging for a guided tour of HDH and significant BWE discounts?

hm$

hm$

I did not want to be the one asking, but I woudl much prefer to go somewhere else -- anywhere else -- that is unique to Chicago. I can go to TCG in Dallas, and it's nothing special.

hm$

hm$

I'm In -- bringing a Quet.....

hm$

hm$

I will need 4 tickets total (me, Lisa and 2 guests).

hm$

hm$

We had an excellent visit at Pegau.

Treasurer. Treasurer. Treasurer. Treasurer. Treasurer!

It's the same theme as Chicago '01.

Bring Bordeaux.

Sorry, I missed it. That's why you are the most wise, Benevolent Dictator.
