Quick update. I'll put myself down for Aussie in the interest of coverage. Looks like 10 people on the list. I'd reserve for 12. C U there. Date: Mon, 5 Mar 2007 18:12:47 -0600 From: "Jim L. Ellingson" <jellings(a)me.umn.edu> To: wine(a)thebarn.com Subject: [wine] 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 Annette S. domestic Nicolai S. America Karin Australia Jim Russ: Prefers California but also has Australia and WA Jim: can do Cal, WA, Aussie, S. America Alicia Anderson is double booked, will not be joining us. 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.
