[wine] Zin's at Sapor: Annette = YES

An Update. Some new info. I had a "YES" from annette, this week and last, but apparently didn't move her out of the "Guess List" pergatory and into Yes List Nirvana.... I have some additional info regarding Bill, Russ. BTW, the wine list for the LD tasting is on line at http://www.liquordepot.com/ ----- Forwarded message from "Jim L.

Depot Sale tasting is this Thursday at 5:00. We're going to Sapor at 6:30 on Thursday. Style du jour is Zinfandel. $5 per person in leu of corkage. Probably going to Bobino, tasting menu, on 9/8/08. Ruth is going to the fair several times. Not sure who's coming on Thursday. Will guess. Sapor, 6:30 p.m. on Thursday $5 per person in lieu of corkage. Recall that we got into some hot water when someone inadvertantly brought something that they claim was on their list. I belive it was a Zin from Seghesio and/or Ch. Souvreign.... Never mind that it was a different vintage and blah-blah-blah... Anyway, part of their wine list is on their web site. If you happen to bring something that's on the list (easier than you might think. Ask Russ about a split of something obscure he'd bought at a winery that was on their shelf as well.... ) We'll just save it for another week. We're never short of wine. http://www.saporcafe.com/ 428 N.
