An Update. BTW, the wine list for the LD tasting is on line at http://www.liquordepot.com/ ----- Forwarded message from "Jim L. Ellingson" <jellings(a)me.umn.edu> ----- Date: Tue, 23 Aug 2005 17:18:44 -0500 From: "Jim L. Ellingson" <jellings(a)me.umn.edu> To: wine(a)thebarn.com Subject: Zins at Sapor on Thursday User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.4i Updates as I know them. Also an article on pairing wine w/ spicy food. Liq. 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. Washington, Mpls 612 375 1971 Yes/Guess: Warren/Ruth Betsy Bob Nicolai Jim More guesses....
