Re: BWE Napa - 21 Nov 2015
Any theming yet? I am thinking I will bring a rare/aged Ganevat blanc, a very old CdP, and a nice BDX (maybe a 1998 Angelus or a 1990 Canon La Gaffeliere).
I am thinking I will make a very seasonal primi (nettle or spinach pasta with green garlic, bottarga and yuzu) and then Lisa will make a dessert. Does that work for you, MichaelP and Glenn?

The wife has old college friends visiting that wknd, but if for some reason they flake out, I might be able to swing up.
Re: BWE Napa - 21 Nov 2015
Sounds good Ed. I will bring pate and caviar with something TBD red.

1 - Due to Nalan's work on Sat, and that I cannot come up early, we will not be able to arrive until about 6p. Hopefully all the cooking can be accomplished in a timely manner so we aren't eating dinner at midnight.
2 - Given the above, let me think about what could be a secondi. Open to ideas.
3 - I love 90 Can Gaf but am a bit curious about the Angelus. My guess is that's too early?
4 - I'll pull a sticky, an old-ish Bordeaux and something else interesting. My cellar is a mess since trying to move out of storage to save costs, so the challenge will be finding what I have in mind.

It turns out my wife's college friends cancelled on her, so I can join in, if there's still room.
I don't think she can come as she wants to get working on holiday stuff.
Can someone mail me details? If we're cooking/potlucking all the better
thanks

Bad news folks - Lisa and I can't come.
I had to go to the ER this morning and got the diagnosis that I have a 9mm kidney stone. When they instantly give you morphine and then set you up with Percocet to go, you know you aren't going to have a good time.
Really sorry on short notice, but hopefully the rest of you will have a good time.

Re: BWE Napa - 21 Nov 2015
Ugh. Get better Ed! I saw my uncle suffer through a kidney stone attack once while we were at a campground, I have never seen a human being in so much pain before or since.
Re: BWE Napa - 21 Nov 2015
Hope you get relief soon, Ed. Kidney stones arenot that serious but they are really, really painful.
Re: BWE Napa - 21 Nov 2015
Ed and Lisa you will be missed.
Michael,
Arv and I are coming. Is 6 the arrival time?

Re: BWE Napa - 21 Nov 2015
Feel better, Ed. Kidney stones are nasty painful, and 9 mm is a big one. Hope you are rid of it quickly.
Re: BWE Napa - 21 Nov 2015
I am sorry to hear about that and hope you get better soon.

Ed:
Sorry to hear about the stone, as I've also heard they are very painful, so hopefully it can be solved/dissolved easily and quickly. Pain is not fun.
We will miss you and Lisa, and look forward to the next gathering when you're pain free.
All the best!
