Oh my broken heart: It's Pinot Noir time!

It is time for another Dallas offline and our varietal of choice this time isPinot Noir . Yes, it is that most noble of grapes that makes you wax poetic one moment and curse the ground it was planted in the next. So let's get together and prove how well this wine really sings!

Our offline will be atIl Sole on January 16th starting at 7PM . We will be in the private Wine Room. We will work out more details later after we get a better feel for how many people will be attending but for the moment I would anticipate everybody will order from the menu and bring two bottles of the same wine due to the anticipated large crowd. But first things first, who's in?

WDOT has officially tossed his hat in the ring. This will probably be the final tally unless DMF, vintage, ChrisC or an out of town guest sign on.

Now, if the math was reversed, then we'd be talkin' !

Just for WDOT who seems to be mathmatically challenged this morning:

Imbibers?

Piranhas?

Rowdys?

My sister had the 99 Rochioli Estate PN last weekend, and she said that it took ~45 min to open up. So you might double decant those a bit before you plan on drinking them.

Have fun drinking all that great wine!

No way Eric. Double decanting is a foreign concept to WDOT. Once the cork comes out of the bottle its all over except the washing of the glasses.

Who needs a glass?

Wow, you guys ARE serious

Yes, for the DAWGs (Dallas Area Wine Geeks) wine drinking is a contact sport.

DAWGs = Dallas Area Wine Guzzlers

Yes, that is better. Sort of. They are both appropriate depending upon which member of which you speak.

BubbaP definitely qualifies!
