What a fun evening, even sober!  Let's find a date when we will all be around for the next event.

April 15 Cafe Monarch

Reservations are set for 9 (Buchanan's, Chapman's, Hrasky's, Ganem's and Billy B!).  Time TBD

How about a Pinot night with wines from Burgandy, California and Oregon?

Assuming that is agreeable, what do folks have to contribute?

We, drinkers that we all are, should also have some Champagne and a dessert something.

If you would please reply in the comment section.

Time for a Fork-U

Some Thursday? 

Where?

Please reply with "out" times and ideas.

Cafe Monarch

Jimmy loved the wines but did not like the food (and smoke). The table set up was marvelous. He also missed Garth.


Other opinions?

Many may have already read this article.

I propose a test.  Let's get together for a truly blind tasting and see if we can generate better than random numbers.  Ideas welcome.

Fork-U, November 5, the sainted day

What a great evening. Thanks everyone for making my B-day special. Greg, your friends are the bomb. How you can always "bring in the Liberals" is beyond me, but you bring in quality every time.








The Buchanan's delivered late, :), beautiful Champagnes.







The Blackstone's were very generous with a White Burgundy which was delicious.


Drinking the Duke was fun, lot's of fruit. Knowing the owner just makes things like that special and I see a road trip in our future.


The Pomerol was the success of the evening and I really enjoyed it with the Osco Busco.


The Gemar's and Chapman's were missed.   Texting Tommy and telling him what he was missing made me feel like a man.  Muy fuerte!

Until next time and thanks for my birthday meal to all.
