i figured i would just start a new thread so i can keep track of it easier. please respond here if you are interested in the after party. i plan on making this a event where everyone just brings one of their best bottles from their cellar and we can all mingle some more and drink some more awesome juice.

Ant, do we really want to bring our best bottles? I'm sure we are going to have some awesome wines with dinner...many of them...By the time we get to the hotel I dont think our (at least my) palate is going to be able to determine great stuff from very good stuff...I'm certainly not going to bring a BV Costal, but I would think bringing a 97 Harlan would go to waste...Just my opinion...

maybe i should rephrase what i meant. i should of said one of your better bottles. i don't mean to say that some of you would bring plonk i just want it to be a fun time for everyone. i don't want to nail people down on what to bring as far as varietals. just bring what you want to share.

Cool...

the thing is i don't want anyone to stress out about cabs, cab blends, bdx, shiraz, merlot, pinots or anything else. just a bottle that really rocks

I can't believe you didn't put me down for the after party....

i guess i should of just assumed...but you know what happens when you do that.....

I think the only thing I would be up for after dinner, provided I am still upright, would be some port or some cocktails.

We need a hotel in the area. I'm in for the afterparty, but my wife will sleeping in the hotel while I'm there. I think the afterparty can use some dessert wines.

whatever you want to bring

Man, I don't think I'll make it. Mrs. TJ turns will turn into a magic pumpkin a la Cinderella at some point and that'll be it for me, methinks. We'll see.

We're in. Of course if Mr. Winetex doesn't do a pumpkin act. It's a tough call when the spouses are involved.

you and tj can come as a couple

Watch out ant, Mrs. TJ might have to smack you around. heh heh

I am a big, fat "MAYBE" for two. When I posed the question to the boss she said "JEEZ, HOW MUCH WINE CAN THE BODY ABSORB?". I'm sure somebody will figure that out by the end of the evening.

How much wine can the body absorb and still be able to play in the VC Golf Tourny the next day?

Find out in October by attending!

that is the question

I guess I'd have to say that I am a qualified "Yes". It just depends on what the definition of "after" is. If we are talking about 10:30-12:30, then yes. If we are talking about 12:00-2:00, I'd probably have to say no. Can't hold on to a babysitter that long.

afterparty people

i was wondering what kind of hotel plans you had. it would be great if the bulk of us could stay in one place. that way we could even save on cab rides to dinner and back. this obviously would make getting together afterwards easier also. i have spent some time investigating the upper east side and it is starting to look like a no go. so i am going to reconstitute my seach to the east side of midtown. if anyone has any ideas that could work for the bulk of us let me know. i will be looking for a suite for myself so that we have a specific area to ourselves.
