Not to be the stick in the mud that I am, but I wonder about driving after having 5+ glasses of wine. We really need to an eglutton bus.

pairings with multi-course meals aren't always full pours. in my experience, they're usually not full pours.

but if you rent a bus, i'll be glad to have you drive me.

How about Weds April 21st. 7pm.

Let me talk to a few wine people and I'll get back to you. After I choose the wines I'll fomulate a menu. We'll take 30 people in my new party room.

i like the way you think.

Curlz · February 13, 2004

Count me in!

And I fully agree that

a) We won't be too drunk to drive after a food/wine pairing--that's not the idea!

b) We should DEFINITELY have a bus. Just think of the publicity we could get if we got one donated...

c) I'd like to see Rosie drive said bus.

:biggrin:

Rosie · February 13, 2004

c. I'm too young to drive and I wouldn't reach the pedals..

Bad idea. Count me in for 1.

suzilightning · February 13, 2004

johnnybird tentativley(he may be out of the country - we're still waiting for the confirmation) :cool:

cool- can't wait

Rachel Perlow · February 14, 2004

Count us as tentatives. (A reconfirmation will need to be done the first week of April IMO), and maybe my parents since they live nearby and may be interested in this type of dinner.

Phil Ward · February 14, 2004

Lou sent me an e-mail and I will begin working on the wines with him next week.

I am in for One person for the dinner.

Rosie · February 14, 2004

FYI--If Phil Ward is doing the wines you will be very pleased. Great to hear that you will be picking, pouring and dining with us Phil. Will you be describing the wines with each course?

Welcome to the NJ eGullet board StInGeR. Looking forward to seeing you at one of our get togethers and talking about Oz.

Lreda · February 14, 2004

I don't know, the way StInGeR spell his name looks like a ransom note. Might be best to hold off a meeting for a while. :biggrin:

Rosie,

I am happy to talk about the wines and also want to keep Lou's dinner social rather than too educational.

Since I'm now working ( :smile: ) in Southeast NY (Orangeburg), getting to Randolph after work shouldn't be a problem, but Helena wouldn't be coming since it's a little far for her to drive (plus she has another group that's meeting that evening).
