Mini-Offline: Napa, Saturday 07/17/2010---Updated with Time

Carrie has graciously donated Napa Valley Wine and Cigar for a little get together. I’ll get some critters from Bryan and we can have a casual get together.

To help cover sides and the main, I thing a donation of $25 per person should do it.

Start time will be 5:30.

I should be around on Saturday the 17th

Anybody?

Any idea? Depends on time but you know we’ll be whereever if possible

Well…

Rico and I are heading into Corte Madera straight from SMF when I get in. We are gonna see Bryan and get some goodies. If we can use your grill and keep Randy away, maybe we can do a small dinner Saturday night? I am bringing a bunch of juice with me.

Bill,
Of course, our grill is available and I’ll have the Schrader decanting. No corkage or time restrictions here

uhho

sounds like its time to pull out some of the big guns

I be rollin’ with Pavie.

Cool. I’ll get in touch with the usual suspects and we can get fixins that afternoon as we should be back in Napa early enough to cause some trouble.

i cant make it, I will be in Las Vegas on our first date weekend with my wife since our girls were born.

Sweet. Although, I am guessing the weather will be a tad warmer in Vegas.

I met Carrie & Randy yesterday at Napa Valley Wine & Cigar, and would love to join the group (solo) on the 17th or whichever day you choose. I will probably bring a Special Selection or Insignia, unless there is a theme.

Eric, no theme at all.

I am bringing Pavie, among other things.

Got room for one more Bill?

Oh hell yeah.

Gonna talk with Bryan later on about what kind of snacks we can pull off.

Right now I am sticking with no theme for the wine, just something beef friendly. Carrie and I can discuss what to do about sides and such. Also, what headcout do you want to cap it at CB?

I say cap it up now, keep it small?

Krug goes with beef… right?

Bill,
Chad posted in the Napa thread in Wine Talk that the 4 of them would like to join us, that puts us at 12. If you want to keep it small we can close it now or add no more than a couple more.

Always.

Sounds good to me.

I emailed Dandridge and his plus one to see if they can make it down. Otherwise, I am cool with the headcount now.
