| There is a very good restaurant in Los Gatos. Funny enough, it is in a strip mall. However, the food is excellent and the atmosphere is wonderful. Reasonably priced "neighborhood" type joint. As a bonus, every sunday is free corkage, however many bottles. Anyone interested in picking a sunday in April and having a small offline?

| I'm a bit confused. Are you saying the offline would be on Sunday, 4/6? If so I (and possibly Tricia) could probably do that. I've known Diane for 20 years; way back when she was cooking spaghetti at Mio Vicino.

| Huh? I hope my mind isn't that far gone! You are talking 2008?
My calendar shows that Sunday, April 9th is a Wednesday. It is the 100th day of the year.
April 6th is the day following Saturday, April 5th. Last time I checked (granted, it has been a while--and it may have gotten screwed up this morning when I changed my clocks) Sunday came right after Saturday.

| Geesh., you are right. Drew was saying he was coming down for a meeting on April 9th, and was hoping to come in on the 6th. So, mea culpa, the date under discussion is Sunday April 6th.
And I haven't even been drinking... | | | |

| Well... If it was going to be Sunday, April 9, 2017 depending on my health I would consider drinking the 1921 Yquem. | | | |

Drew,
I can ask Diane to do some Chili Verde AHAHAHAHAHAHA! Well played, sir.
It's even funnier when you consider that my office chair... is a stick/cowhide chair from the downstairs bar area at El Burro :-D

| Allright, let's shoot for Sunday April 6th. David, do you know the folks at the restaurant? Will they still allow you in?
I think we have:
Randy (1|2)
Drew (1)
NCVL(2)
David (2)
David, would you like to call the restaurant, or will that nix the affair? | | | |

| Picked up the plane tickets today.. I'll be in town by noon. I can bring Pinot or Cab. If David is able to make it, I'll bring one of the bottles from the list I reclaimed post-graduation :-) If there's room, Jeff would like to crash as well (bald guy that went to the Freeman event). | | | |

| Cool, this will be fun. Anyone want to declare a theme for the event? How about "Wines that David won't bring?" Crimson has a pretty diverse menu, so matching for almost any wine won't be a problem...
