Which of those wines, if any, really knocked you out?

[La Niña]

It's next week...was interested in whether people thought it seemed worthwhile...

[jaybee]

Sounds very good.  I'm interested.

[La Niña]

I'm planning on going, and would be delighted to have company.  Let me know, I'll reserve.

[jaybee]

Any takers?  Sounds great.

[La Niña]

I'm going, a friend of mine is going, and a couple of acquaintances will be there too.  I've spoken to the guy who's doing the wines - he's very excited about it.  Should be good.
