Warmer, softer, with a lower sound level. Check it out. Time for a bit of finger wagging..... PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let someone know that you're planning on attending. Call Bob (612-672-0607), e-mail the list (wine(a)thebarn.com) or reply to me. As of Thursday Morning, Bob knew of 4 people planning to attend. (Bob, Betsy, Dave, me.) I knew of a few others (Louise, Bill, Russ and maybe Sue.) a total of 8 possible, but reservation for 8 so no problemo.... As you know, 11 people showed up. Definitely not the most endearing thing we can do to/for our hosts.... It would be best if we could be more accurate w/ our head counts A big thanks to those of us who made their intentions known. Thanks also to Fred, Annnette S, Warren/Ruth who let someone know that they were not going to be there. This week, we're doing Spanish wines at JP's Bistro on Thursday. The Vintage Chart at the Wine Enthusiast web site says that Spanish wines from 1997 and older are mostly at or near peak, are ready to drink. Of course lighter, smaller wines may well be ready sooner. As usual, I can only guess at who will be there. Betsy Bob Lori Russ Jim Nicolai Karen JP's American Bistro 2937 S.
