Jeebus in SF Monday, 12/8

[Steve Edmunds]

I am coming down with what feels like a nasty cold, and will miss the event, I'm sad to report. I hope to get to Sociale sometime soon, and, more to the point , to meet with the amassed disorderly!

Anyone know if they'll charge more corkage for a magnum? If so I might pick up a different wine. Right now it looks like I'll get a gruner veltliner.

If it's the 1990 Freie Weingartner from K & L, I bought on ein August and it was corked. There's your corkage right there.

Someone else bought two and one had a cork problem. Maybe I should get a different wine.

We're sad too Steve :(. Hope you feel better soon!

Ooops. I was thinking only five, and not seven. It's been moved back outside, which I think will give you more room. Enjoy!

 

[Jack Everitt]

Okay Jay, I can make it and will be there.

 

[Scott Kraft]

Can I bring someone with?

Eh, why not. Claude - is it possible to increase the reservation to 9?

I hear Clos de la Tech makes a nice pinot.

I'm sure you can. Give them call and ask to speak to David.

I didn't realize VLM was getting territorial. Make that +1 for me and make sure that he can't come

 

[Jay Miller]

Scott - can you call the restaurant to see about increasing the reservation to 9 in case Claude doesn't see this?

 

[Scott Kraft]

I shall

 

[Scott Kraft]

Done

No chance of getting one today. I got a 1994 gruner. It was a little more than I wanted to pay, but after Sharon wondered if gruner was a good grape, I dug deep.

Ha! Have you ever seen Coad without a Hawaiian shirt?!

I did! Just a couple of weeks ago at the Sharon Bowman dinner. It was really, really weird.

Can we get a list of the wait-listed people so we know who should get wait-listed for dinners here? Gotta keep the cool kids with the cool kids, you know.

That was a great night, folks.

I don't know what's come over me but apparently I'm already putting my notes together.

Did I miss anything? Aside from about two-thirds of Arjun's exceedingly long-winded joke, I mean.

C'mon, could none of you West Coasters have tortured Jay with some ber-spoofy Syrah Pinot Noir? I'd have thought my modest contribution to Rahsaan's going away shindig might've started a trend out there.

Nice lineup of youngish wines.

It was Jay's remarkable Malkovich impression that made the evening for me!

Notes to come!

 

[slaton]

Malkovich malkovich!
