I am doing jeans or khakis Fri/Sat with slacks and a casual jacket on Sunday.
So you won't be alone. | | | |

| Papapietro-Perry will charge the $5 tasting fee but it can be used as a credit on wine you may want to buy.
Greg Walters will be coming to dinner with us at Willi's. | | | |

| Moshin is about 15 minutes away. If we want to go there it would be nice to know how many people it would be Healdsburg to Moshin Winery | | | |

Is there anybody that would desire to do Healdsburg instead of Moshin on Sunday afternoon? Please let us know if so. If nobody speaks up, we'll just plan on Moshin for everybody. Thanks!

Adam,
I know you didn't make much, but how about the Amber Rose? I think I only bought one bottle, so it would be nice to try this without having to kill my single.
Also, you had a bunch of 05 Syrah's in tank last time I was there (couple of months ago)...and they were all tasting wonderfully....I'd love to try these from bottle.
Thanks Adam! See you Sunday!

| Here is a breakdown of the costs for dinners and transportation:
Willi's Wine Bar: $63.43/person, all inclusive
Freeman Caves dinner: $125/person, all inclusive (18% gratuity based on food price)
John Ash dinner: $102.08/person, all inclusive
Bus: $45/person per day (this includes a 20% gratuity)
Sandwiches: $5.00/each
I figure we'll each pay cash for the tasting at Papapietro-Perry as well as the taxi's to/from Willi's and John Ash.
Please figure out what you owe and make checks out for Chris Peterson. Please no cash! I don't want to be carrying around a ton of money all weekend.
See you all soon!

| Chris,
Do any of the payments go directly to the Restaurants at the time we dine? Or are you paying everything up front, including all three dinners? | | | 2008: the end of an error | |

I am paying for all costs listed with my credit card, including the dinners. This avoids the hassle of having them run a dozen credit cards. I should be able to swing it with my limit....just hope they don't freeze my card due to all the activity!

We are in the cave at Freeman. Dan told me current temps in there are around 50F, so yes, a sweater is a good idea. We will have three heaters spaced around the tables, so if you are by a heater you should be ok.

Wow, a bit risky! Okay then. Funny thing, I just today got a bunch of cash for the weekend for the very reason on not having to deal with CCs at dinner! lol. | | | 2008: the end of an error | |

| Should I bring two bottles of the same wines so that everyone gets a good taste?
Or do I bring one bottle and we have twice as many different wines? | | | |
