| Ideas for themes? 2001 Cabs, how are they drinking Rhone Night, we haven't had one of those in a while CA Rhone Rangers night - for those who like the big Syrahs Bordeaux - the name says it all All mystery bottles - blind all the way Something from down under - Hey Mate, pop open another one You say Burgandy, I say Pinot Noir All whites, how many Chards are there? Where? James, how were your disucssions with Proof? Somewhere we haven't been before for a dinner Equinox - the site of the first official DC VC wine dinner Time for a steakhouse? (that has fish for T-Rep) Seafood, the other meat When? Weekend Monday night Tuesday-Thurs | | | |

| I'm game for any of the suggestions that Dinwiddie came up with although I don't have a ton of cabs in the cellar so that might be a bit of a challenge for me. What about doing sushi and champagne or burgundy as we did last year? I can do just about the entire month with the exception of April 07-09, 16 and 28-30.
Looking forward to this one...

| | I should be availble pretty much throughout the month and would love to do a get together. I'm not into sushi or Champagne all that much nor do I have much Burgundy of note - but 01 Cali Cabs I've got big time as well as Rhones, Cali Rhone rangers, Bordeaux and lots of Italians of all types (mostly red I mean). My vote is for the 01 Cabs or (2000?) Bordeaux and Equinox could be good - but no overwhelming preference. | | | |

| I'll try to weigh in here tomorrow. April is tight on the weekends so my vote would be for a mid-week, maybe a Thursday night?
More tomorrow. | |

| | Sorry I haven't been around in a while - been super busy traveling and getting stuff ready for the baby. Haven't had a chance to contact Proof - I'll see what I can do. | | | |

| | I had dinner at Proof last night, which was absolutely fantastic. T-Rep, the quality of fish was superb, so you would enjoy it immensely. I spoke to the wine director briefly and I'll see if I can swing something there. How about shooting for Wednesday 4/23 if it is available? The dining area is small, so I don't think we can have a party larger than 10 IMO but we'll see what we can do. | | | |

| | Hi everyone, just an update - I've had no success getting in contact with the wine guy at Proof, and it seems via opentable.com that our date is unavailable for a large party. Would you guys be interested in a backup location if I can swing it? I'm thinking New Heights Restaurant in Woodley Park (chef used to be at Firefly - good cook, loves wine), I read a positive BYO review on eBob. Let me know if you are still up for it. I'm sorry this has turned a little crazy! | | | |

| JT...
Thanks for all your hard work trying to get this dinner off the ground. I'm certainly game for trying New Heights. The last time that Mrs. T and I were there, we enjoyed it so trying it with a new chef sounds good to me.
