| | Now that daughter T-Rep's wedding day has passed, Mrs. T and I can finally relax and get on with our lives.
So who's up for an offline in late June/July?

| Funny, I logged on with the intention of starting this very thread. Sometime in July would work best for me, I'm out of town the June 27-30. | | | |

| | Okay, so when's good for the Cru? Midweek? Weekend? I can't do July 24-31 as we'll be at the beach in Delaware, but the rest of the month is open.
What say you all?

| Weekends are the best for me, but I can do midweek if that is the consensus. The best day for me would be Saturday, July 19, but I'm flexible.

| | I'd prefer a mid-week I think. I'd also like to maybe try another someplace new? Or should we hit New Heights again and make the chef really work this time? ;-p | |

| | I think I agree with the PoolBoy and that we should consider doing a mid-week thing.
Only two responses so far...anyone else interested?

| | It seems like mid-week is the choice. How about some dates??? I can't do July 24-31 as we'll be on vacation. Tuesday and Thursday evenings work best for me...how about July 15 or 17?
Themes?? How about an all white wine dinner? All pinot dinner? All Cali cab? Thoughts or other suggestions?
Once we have agreement on the theme, I'll start calling around to some restaurants to see if they can take us...

| The 17th would work best for me, but I'm ok with the 15th. Theme - We had discussed having a 2001 Cab dinner to see how they were drinking. On the other hand, you know me, I'll always do a Pinot Night. If we want to do all whites, I have some Chards that I'd be glad to pop. As to where, I'd also like to try someplace we haven't been, but I'd also be very happy to go back to New Heights and let him choose the menu for us like we did last time. | | | |

| | If there has been any movement it's been unnoticed- I vote for New Heights and them choose the menu-- some pinot is ok and I have some italian brunellos that might be in need of getting drunk-- Norm | | | |

| | New Heights works for me as well. Shall we commit for July 17th...ask chef to do a menu for us and go for it?
I'll call the restaurant to set it up. So who's in?
