I am sorry vinotyro, mine will have to be a last min decision (sort of speak). It depends if I have the strength/time on Sun as we are hosting a big dinner party @ our place for about 20 people on Satur. I will let you know, but don't count on me.

Again, I am sorry to miss. Not the game in particular, I would just rather give you sharks the $60.00 & do away with the charade (of me ever winning), but the wine(s) & your wife's specialties.

P.S.: you guyz really want TBird to play. I think he is even worse than me. That's like $60.00 in the bank.

OK, I cannot make it tonight, just as I thought, I am dead tired after last night & a lot of cleaning to do.

Congrats to STW who finally decided to embrace his fours which led him to the win. Was great meeting Mike (an up and coming winemaker!), and as always Vinotyro and Mrs. VT's hosting skills were exceptional. My VT WOTN was the '02 Amon-Ra.

Many thanks to VT and Mrs for hosting. The food and wine were both excellent.

[Sorry for the long delay .... ]

That was fun hosting the vino crew after a long hiatus!

Wines served were:

2004 Radio-Coteau Alibergi Pinot
2002 Martinelli Bondi Pinot
2002 Bridesmaid Cabernet
2001 Oriel Priorat
2002 El Puntido (Tempranillo)
2002 Amon-Ra Barossa Shiraz

jb brought with him 98 La-Miss Haut-Brion! and a 1983 Reisling - both of which were delightful. My WOTN was the La-Mission, but using Brad's nomenclature, I liked the R-C and the Amon-Ra!

Food served was: Little quiches for appetizers, Goat-cheese-apple-salad with balsamic, Eggplant Rollatini, Pasta shells, and homemade Tiramisu.

Congrats to Blair for the fearless aggression he displayed against the normally aggressive jb to take home the hosting honors!

Looking forward to the next game ... off to Millington we go.

Will someone from South or Central Jersey please win this thing!!!!!????? I had such a great time playing with you guys in Trenton.

Poker (and Priorat) starved in PA,
