Yep, no worries. Will probably be an '04 Pol Roger, but will see what else I have of interest at work. Might be a 2002 Radenti from Freycinet. Anyway, some sort of fizz to whet the appetite an get the taste buds started.

Do you guys want to do this blind? Just throwing the option out there...I know some people aren't comfortable with that and if we end up with 11, it won't leave much to go back to..

I don't mind, I am open to it but I am not gonna push hard for it. I do kind of like having an idea what I am drinking so I can decide if I want to let it sit and keep some for a while...

Still not 100% sure what I am going to bring, but have narrowed it down to a couple options, 2 of which are white, 1 of which is red.

Hi Polymer, if there are any late scratchings happy to come along and bring either red or white burgundy - does 1er or GC Chablis count?

Cheers

Paul

PaulV: I'll put you on the reserves

Red for me.

Have completely flipped and am bringing a red

do you need to byo glasses or are they decent

Can the maybes try to confirm by Monday?

Vinh - I remember their glassware was decent..they have a pretty good wine section too so I'd be surprised if not. But I don't really remember the details..

Will do Polymer, prob not until later in the day though... waiting to hear back from a client... prob 80% yes!

Now that I've moved onto the list for the other Burgundy offline - is it still ok if I go to this?
I'm happy to go but will let someone else go if they can't go to either.

Ge lot's of go's in that sentence.

Yeap all ok....There was always a risk this was going to happen anyways.

Hey Kev,

You can scratch Lauren and myself off the reserve list.
Unfortunately the mid week timing isn't too good for us

We'll see you at the March Burg night though!

Anyone have any objections if we go to 11 and include PaulV?

We will probably end up with 10 as inevitably one will drop out but this way PaulV can just plan on coming.

No complaints from me

all good here.

Sorry guys, will have to pull out of this one, just too much happening late in the day to make it. Have a fab night, I look forward to being sad and jealous while reading the notes!

Have to be honest and say I remain uncertain. Still don't know if I will be in Newcastle or not Should know by midday tomorrow. If you need firm numbers or if anyone else wants to go then I can bow out. But please make me jealous and order up!!!

cheers

Carl

Carl - No hurry. With how the numbers are now it'll be fine!

Wines selected for this one as well.

2008 Domaine Stephane Magnien 1er Cru "Aux Petites Noix" Morey Saint Denis
2011 Domaine Dominique Mugneret Nuits St. Georges

Sorry Kev, will be in Newcastle as thought. not happy!

I'll be bringing a 2009 Domaine Follin-Arbelet Aloxe-Corton 1er Cru Les Vercots. Looking forward to it.

Updated.

If anyone else is interested, there is still an open spot.

Is this a 7pm kick off?

Yeah..7pm!

Sorry fellas, mate just said he contracted gastro and wont be making it tonight, it'll be just me

Alright cool, I have the champers in the fridge and an '11 Faiveley NSG Les Damodes 1er ready to rock and roll.

I'm just waiting on a reply from a mate who would love to come.
Do we need an extra? Looks like we are down to 7 or 8 at the moment.

We are definitely down to 8, maybe 7 as I am not sure MSE has confirmed. I'm sure no one would mind at all if your mate wanted to come. Still within the original 9 planned for.

Just pulled a 2008 Paul Pillot Chassagne Montrachet 1er la romanee and a 2003 Domaine Fourrier Gevrey Chambertin 1er Lo Goulots from the cellar - should go well with seafood and duck.

See you at 7 - who's name is it under?
Cheers
