I can bring you a $15 bottle of DoveR Canyon Zinfandel if you like.   Will that count?

I have a LOT of Quilceda Creek, and I suspect a lot of the non locals would really enjoy tasting those.

I for one would support you opening some QC.  I don't have any that I think is ready to open yet and I have tasted very little.  Bought mine from a friend sharing his allocation based upon his recommendation.  Or how about that Pride in the "About Us" photo; although I prefer their Cab. Franc.

So, what will parking really be like in your neighborhood with so many people coming?  Should we take a taxi?  Given the type of event, maybe a taxi would be a good idea.

Come on Paul.  We all know everyone in Singapore is rich and has their own private jet.  Come on over.

Just like everyone in Texas lives on a ranch, has cattle and horses, and carries a revolver (well, the later is mostly correct since we have a concealed weapon law).  And yes, most of our streets are paved.

It is amazing what you can fit into a wine tote nowadays.

Current plan:
2003 Cadence Tapteil
2005 Soos Creek Cabernet Sauvignon Champoux Vineyard

Both sound nice.  Will have to defer to the Washingtonophiles (like rjonas) as have little experience with these.  Either, or, or Both, I'd say!

A 1989 Lopez De Heredia rioja Blanc gran reserva.
And an Ameztoi Rubentis, an ass-kicking rose.

I can't make it to Friday's event. I'm doing a Northern Rhone-themed offline (I hope. I have not posted it yet) that Sunday, if anyone'e interested. For that I'm bringing a 1998 Jaboulet Sterimborg and either a 1999 Texier Hermitage or a 1995 Cave de Tain L'Hermitage Cornas les Nobles Rives.

Cadence is a consistently good producer.. I don't think I've ever had a bad bottle.  Never had Soos Creek but have had other vintners that sourced grapes from Champoux.. It's in a great AVA and would be interesting to see how they stack up against Hogue, Januik and other WA producers that source from that vineyard...

I am looking at perhaps a 95 Angelus or maybe a 1996 Cos d'estournel.

Maybe a 2001 Two Hands Shiraz "Ares"

It'll be a gametime decision on those.



Well - I drank the "Ares" last weekend so that's out.  It was pretty good though. 

I'll come up with something.  I think I'll need to bring at least a couple.  Maybe a red and a white.

Rob, For goodness sake, don't drink either of those Bordeaux.  I'm already licking my lips thinking about either of them.  At this point it would be like handing me a glass then taking it away right before it comes to my mouth--cruel   A white would be good for variety sake...

Hope you all are having fun with this exercise.

I'll bring one of those two Bordeaux for sure and maybe a Kutch pinot.  I think I will pick up a white somewhere in Seattle that week.  My wife and I actually get there on the Wednesday.  Any good wineshops to visit in downtown Seattle?

In some obscure post, Eric had mentioned that his favorite wine shop in Seattle was McCarthy & Schiering.

Here is a link http://www.mccarthyandschiering.com/qa_location.php 

I am arriving on Wednesday as well and will probably be dropping by the wine shop myself.  It is so difficult getting enough wine on a flight nowadays without paying an arm and a leg.

I'll check out that shop.  Where are you staying?

I'll pack two bottles in a checked bag.  That's worked fine in the past.   

I might also bring a 2003 La Tour Blanche.  I have a 750ml of that and don't know of any particular occasion where I would need that much.  Usually I drink stickies from a 375.

A few other good wine shops for the out-of-towners to try:

Esquin  http://www.esquin.com/
Wine Outlet http://www.seattlewineoutlet.com/
Pete's http://www.petes.cc/  (Pete's of Seattle is a tiny place with bad parking, Pete's of Bellevue is much larger, fyi)

RoundersRob,
I will be staying with my nephew who lives about 1.5 miles from Eric's place.  He will be coming to the events with me so I am packing 4 bottles in my suitcase.  Won't have room for much clothes I guess but will try to fit them into my carryon. 

Where are you staying?
