Re: DC ‘21: Thursday night head count
I'm in. I've been looking for an excuse to open a few of mine. L'eglise Clinet and VCC. Count me in. I'll let you know later if I need a plus one or two.
Depending on how many people, I may have a cool spot for us to do it.

Lucie and I are in for Thursday.
Re: DC ‘21: Thursday night head count
+1 for me, my friend Dallas would like to join for all 3 nights as well. This will be my first bwe thursday. Is the thursday night generally a shorter night with less bottles than the others?

I expect to participate on Thursday night, not sure about Marjorie. I am looking into a possible venue in DC but will need a reasonable head count.

Re: DC ‘21: Thursday night head count
Stefan is going to be in the house on Thursday night. Things will be subdued, I am sure.
Re: DC ‘21: Thursday night head count
I walked Right into that one. Looking forward to it. Pomerol night sounds perfect.
Is there a friday night thread somewhere? Marcus organizing?

Re: DC ‘21: Thursday night head count
Clearly the best one since a long time!
In 2018, after the Thursday night dinner, information from serious source tell me that someone puke in the Uber going back to the hotel... it was my first time being in a Uber that smelled a mix of Great Champagne, Palmer, Montebello and Yquem!
In 2019, there was so much wines at the dinner, that we needed some beers cleaning later on, until midnight, before going back to stefan/lucie hotel room for a last glass (or two) of wine...

Re: DC ‘21: Thursday night head count
Wish I could join for Thursday, but it is not to be.
Re: DC ‘21: Thursday night head count
If you bring the 86 VCC, i'll bring either the 83 or 89 (or maybe both) to pair.Hm$(still) wrote: ↑Thu Aug 26, 2021 3:34 pm Anyone have an opinion on which of the following would be good to bring?

I also have 87,90,97 L'eglise Clinet. Also 98 L'evangile if anyone has any specific interest.
Re: DC ‘21: Thursday night head count
We'll bring the 2001 Trotanoy and try to source something else worthy

Re: DC ‘21: Thursday night head count
I am wondering why we don't save the Pomerols for the Saturday blowout -- they are after all some fantastic Bordeaux and that is our big Bordeaux night.
With that said, if this is going to be Pomerol night, I could bring the 2001 and 2011 VCC...

Re: DC ‘21: Thursday night head count
There will be good wines on Saturday night as well.
Why wait?

Re: DC ‘21: Thursday night head count
Should I add you to the head count?
I’m with Jim — at every convention I’ve been too, there has been outstanding bordeaux on Thursday AND Saturday nights. But Saturday is always far too many people to all share the same set of bottles (without a big effort to get multiple bottles of the same wines and control pour size, etc).
Re: DC ‘21: Thursday night head count
OK, put me on -- not sure I can physically handle three days in a row but I can try
Re: DC ‘21: Thursday night head count
Still just sad I’ll be out of town for all the festivities…
Pour one out for me!

Unfortunately I arrive too late to be able to join.
Re: DC ‘21: Thursday night head count
Eric, I just added you and Janet to the list. I also like the smaller dinners a lot. Chris Bublitz/Winona Chief is handling the logistics for the venue, but I assume there’s still room for all.
Tim, sorry to miss you, but we’ll all catch up on Friday.

Looks like 1998 Nenin and 2001 Trotanoy for us.
Any news about the attendants/venue/time?

Re: DC ‘21: Thursday night head count
Thanks for the reminder - I was planning on posting an update. This is the plan:
Starting at 6:15 p.m. at Black Salt restaurant. It’s right next door to MacArthur Beverages. Six course tasting menu with cost approximately $200 per person. I told them we would be doing flights of Champagne and white Burgundy, followed by three flights of red Bordeaux (mostly Pomerol 20 to 40 years old) and ending with dessert wine.
We will need volunteers to bring Champagne and white Burgundy - probably a total of 3 for each flight.

In addition to the 90 l'Evangile, I'll bring a 2012 Jean-Marc Boillot La Garenne Puligny Montrachet and a 1986 Raymond Lafon Sauternes.
Re: DC ‘21: Thursday night head count
My and Janet's plan now is to bring the following:
1.5L (Magnum) of 2005 Charles Heidsieck brut
1982 Vieux Chateau Certan

Just want to make sure everyone who signed up is coming (except for Jacques and Jill) - please confirm.
Also, any allergies the restaurant should know about? Please let me know as soon as possible.
