Names please!
To repeat the joke about the pope and sex. You don’t play the game, you can’t make the rules.
Besides. Blow up the photo of Grammar sitting with Golodetz to the left. Who else would have the nerve to have the name tag on his shoulder that says that.
Mark G was explaining to Mike G how much he enjoys California Cabs circa 2007 - 2009. Mike Grammer is seated.
As a matter of fact, Mark Golodetz shared some Bevan with me. 
yes, I recognize the 3 in that picture: Grammer because we’ve had wine together before, Hack because of his avatar, and Golodetz from the post office.
I used to like Dan. The only saving grace to the Bevan was that it wasn’t as bad as the nasty ghost wine he served me at Kittle House. I did like a Neal Cabernet, which showed plenty of character.
Was there a WOTN?
Oops, we found two more empty bottles, a Guigal Cote Rotie and a Silver Oak, which we have added to this new and improved photo.
For those who want names, that’s Zachary, The Earl of Rego Park on the left, Chris D of Rowayton in the center and the host on the right.

You wanted people photos? Unfortunately, my camera was wielded by a rank amateur who somehow managed to get photos out of focus despite the autofocus, but there are a few that are not terrible.
From right to left. Mera and Arnie Eisen, who have been hosting wine events in Golden’s Bridge for over 60 years. The Countess, MMe. Svetlana Lipyanskaya.

I opened it earlier in the morning using port tongs. You can YouTube to see many examples of it.

aww I guess I am not notable
I am in the pink dress holding up the white wine behind Marcia (woman in the blue checkered dress.)
I don’t have any good photos with people in them - but here is a video of Jay shushing me in his wine cellar ![[rofl.gif]](/uploads/db3686/original/2X/a/a7452fcd8e675af869f8da01174474a545b03944.gif "rofl"){kind=small}
Interesting. I do not recall why I would have been shushing you. I was trying to find a 2005 Burgundy for you in boxes that are now partially inhabited by replacement Aubert and Comtes
Oh all right. Hiding behind Marcia with her name tag obscured, but now craving attention, Tantina from Durham with the really nice business card that my wife thinks is great.
Oh, and apologies to all. We had yogurt, milk, mango and cardamom to make refreshing Mango Lassi to drink in the heat, but I forgot.
