| Very cool Davidn, look forward to seeing you there and meeting Tricia. The menu sounds fantastic  (not to mention the opportunity to taste some aged Burgundies). | | | 2008: the end of an error | |

| Man oh man, for those of you who missed it - too bad, you really missed out!. What a terrific event! Virtually every Clos Pepe Library wine, barrel samples of upcoming releases, Loring barrel samples, over 30 different Grand Cru & Premier Cru pre-1996 Burgundies, and mushroom based food to die for!
More notes soon as I compile my scribblings. Well done Wes! | | | 2008: the end of an error | |

| Oui, Mr. Loring was in attendance, but only briefly, and with his lovely girlfriend. He brought with him a couple of diet coke bottles of his 2002 Clos Pepe Pinot, and snuck another couple small gems to Davidn which we enjoyed over dinner that night - more details to follow | | | 2008: the end of an error | |

| Eric, Nice pics, thanks for the link! Ironically, I could pick Teri, Brian, and David (who seemed to be clinging to Brian  ) just from the thumbnails. It took me a little more work to find you.  | | | Cheers, y'all | |

| Now that was a good wine day but a very bad hair day! Some good pix of the other Eric also. Hanging on to Brian? Not really. It was Laurie I had to stay close to them at this point in the party. MrsN just up and left me there and Brian and Laurie were my ride back to town. | | | |
