I'll need to talk to the caterer, but I think I may be able to increase the cave dinner by two. I'll let you know by the middle of next week, because I need to get moving on the contract.

WOOHOO!!!! you rock Chris!

| For John Ash, it's wide open. I'd suggest one bottle per person, and a few people should bring bubbly for starters. I know somebody will bring some sweet wine as well.
For the Freeman dinner, you really don't need to bring any wine, unless you want bubbly at first. There will be a ton of wine from all of the winemakers. I would guesstimate that the grand total of bottles opened last year was at least 100.....for about 45 people.

| Chris,
Unfortunately, my wife won't be able to make it, so I'm down to 1 person for the the dinners on Friday and Saturday. I'm still in for the bus on Saturday and a room Saturday night. Not sure about a Friday night room - what's your deadline ?

Scott EDIT
I'm set to fax the form to her today. I've already confirmed the room totals. If we have to drop a room we can do so up to 14 days before the event. This will incur a $20 fee. If within 14 days, the full charge for the room is imposed.
I don't need the totals on dinner for another three weeks....so we're safe there.

| David (NCVL), you are now on the active list since Scott's wife couldn't make it. I'll make it work out somehow. Please advise your hotel/bus needs, and if you and Alice can make it to the Friday night dinner.

| Chris,
Please add me to the Sunday KB tasting. I'll be solo - my wife will have had about as much wine-speak as she can handle by then!
