| I need to make a quick day trip to visit a client in Wheeler the week of the 14th through the 18th. I could easily stay over night and fly back the next morning if any Chicago winos would like to get together offline.
Anybody available? | | | Joe-----Wine is like potato chips around me...if it's open, it's gone. |

| WIML - you and Stemor are going to have to arm wrestle for the Vino off-line award.  | | | |

| I surrender my position. Not only do I no longer have a travel budget, I don't even seem to have a job. I gladly surrender my crown to WIML, who has earned it the hard way. | | | Cheers, y'all | |

| I've sure been doing a lot travelling lately, thats for sure. But there are other people out there that travel a lot but don't seem to get to offline very much if ever. LCC and I were talking about this the other day.
I just made a conscious decision back in April that I was going to jump into this offline thing both feet first and meet as many of you out there as possible. I'm the better for it and true winner in the end.
Thanks to everybody that has assisted along the way. | | | Joe-----Wine is like potato chips around me...if it's open, it's gone. | |

| If my job required me to travel, I'd be offlining it most definitely. But my company is under constant 'spending reductions' even though we have oodles and oodles of moola in the bank. <<sigh>> | | | www.roguefood.com -- www.cellartracker.com | |

| I finally made it back to Texas. I got caught in that thunderstorm at O'Hare and spent an extra 4 hours getting home last night.
I want to thank all of the Chicago crew for their hospitality, good conversation, sharing of wines and welcoming me to town. I especially want to thank Mrs & Mrs Otisabul for hosting the event. I had a great time including our midnight round of croquet.
I have pictures that I'll post later once I get them uploaded.
Is anybody going to post the list of wines? My list is probably not as complete as others. I do have notes I can post.
Thanks again to everybody for participating. I can't wait to get back to Chicago for another Chicago offline. | | | Joe-----Wine is like potato chips around me...if it's open, it's gone. | |
