[wine] Bubbles on Thursday, Brgndy next week?

Greetings, The film, and the "salon" on Sunday were big hits. Wine suprises included a 2000 Jed Steele Pinot as well as a very affordable Lion Mt. OR 2000 Pinot. Great food as well. No comment on the parlor games. This week, many of us are going to the Surdyk's Champagne tasting, details below. Last year's event featured lots of big names, great sparklers, although there was a strong preference for the Terry Theise wines. I have a birthday coming up in December, and would enjoy marking the occasion by doing Burgundy (red, white) and Pinot at the 510 on either the 9th or the 16th. Let me know if either of those dates work or conflict for you. Yo Janet: I hope that wasn't too **wordy**. We mens just loves to gab. <grin> Deceptively Large, Jim ----- Forwarded message from jhegstrom(a)csom.umn.edu ----- Subject: [wine] Surdyk's Holiday Champagne Tasting To: wine(a)thebarn.com From: jhegstrom(a)csom.umn.edu Date: Mon, 29 Nov 2004 08:44:00 -0600 X-list: wine Sample over 40 sparkling/champagnes from around the world this Thursday, December 2nd, 7-9 p.m. at the Millennium Hotel in downtown Minneapolis (1313 Nicollet Mall).
