Subject: [wine] World of Cabs at Erte

Greetings,

We had a wonderful time at Warren and Ruth's.  Great
way to spend a blustery evening.  Many many thanks.

This week, it's dissertation time.

Thesis:   Compare and Contrast Cabs from around the world.

Assignment:  Pick an "open" country or two and bring a cab
you think will speak of that source.  Big, small, short, tall,
bring one, bring all.

Grading: A for attendance. A plus for transcendence.

Open = less than two committed to that region/country.
If we fill all (2 each) then we can add additionals.

S. Africa    Betsy, Bob          closed
France       Warren and Lori     closed
Washington   Ruth and
California
domestic     Nicolai
S. America   Karin
Australia

Russ:   Prefers California but also has Australia and WA
Jim:    can do Cal, WA, Aussie, S. America

Alicia Anderson is double booked, will be arriving later.

Since bob and I are keeping the list, we will fill in
one or three spots on Thursday morning.

Warren is our Master of Caber-monies, will flight
them as he sees fit.

My vote is for mixed flighting (e.g. Fr., Cal, S. Africa and
S. America in a flight.  WA, Cal, Fr and Aussie in a flight
and so on. My thought is we do flights of XX every week.
(e.g . last night, all Rhones)  It's just one vote.
Why not use yours.

Good seats available.
Whites, sparkling, stickies, ringers always welcome.
