Bay Area Summer Clos Roche Blanche Jeeb

[Jim Hanlon]

I've still got a fair amount of Clos Roche Blanche squirreled away, and would love to share bottles at dinner with Disorderlies. I've got a good venue in Oakland and would love to do this in July or August, if we can get 6-8 people committed. Here's what I could provide:

2013 CRB Pineau d'Aunis Rose
2014 CRB Pineau d'Aunis Rose

2009 CRB Gamay
2010 CRB Gamay
2011 CRB Gamay

2012 CRB l'Arpent Rouge

2011 CRB Pif
2013 CRB Pif
2014 CRB Pif

2007 CRB Cot
2009 CRB Cot
2009 CRB Cabernet

I'm flexible on timing in July or August, and hope to get a group of folks together who are excited to share the wines. If you're interested, please post here.

Would be awesome to have some East Coast folks attend. That's one reason I posted so far ahead.

 

[Larry Stein]

I'm interested!

 

[Robert Dentice]

If the date works I would love to attend and can add some CRB.

 

[VLM]

It will be kind of hard to make it, but I'll see what I can do. The only CRB I have that doesn't overlap is the 2014 Gamay.

Great idea.

If anyone from the East Coast makes it out, we can add a second Gamay flight of 12, 13, and 14.

And I should say, no CRB is required for attendance.

Tempting for me as well (and I’m overdue for a Bay Area visit, as you know).

Mark, I'll get a convertible and pick you up on the way?

 

[MLipton]

Depending on the timing, where I’ll be is a bit undecided. A road trip in a convertible does sound like the proper run-up to a CRB jeeb, though.

I have now heard of a stash of CRB in Boston, too.

Dammit, Jeff, I'm having a hard enough time getting interest as is! ;)

 

[Yule Kim]

Hi Jim,

If there is an extra seat available, I would be interested in joining as well. I miss those wines quite a bit.

Thanks for organizing.

Ooh, I don't think interest is the problem! It's airlines.

 

[Mark Anisman]

I would like to attend. Not sure I have CRB bottlings that differ from you though.

 

[Jim Hanlon]

Attendees so far: Larry, Yule, Mark A.

Let us knows: Robert, VLM, Mark L., Pavel (but only in a convertible)

No need for anyone attending to bring any CRB. So if you're interested, please don't be shy.

not even sauvignon that you've been trying to avoid?

 

[Eden Mylunsch]

This sounds like fun (and it'd be educational too). LMK details when they appear.

-Eden (worth borrowing a convertible for the trip up the coast, even if Highway 1 isn't open by then)

I am interested. Do we have a date or potential dates?

 

[Rahsaan]

I would be interested if it were mid-June. But I know I'm not the most important guest (not bringing CRB) and the initial dates proposed were July-August.

Still, any ideas?
