Perhaps a good theme would be 'wines that pair well with large pictures of Brian's head'. Since you're off to South Africa, I'm thinking that would be a good country to use as theme as well. At some point, I'd love us to to an Italian wine tasting, perhaps with a focus on 1 or 2 specific regions or varietals. Either of those two dates you've suggested work for Sarah and I.

Thanks for reminding me about Steely Dan, which I actually enjoyed hearing on Friday. Though I'll cover this shortly in an email, a big thanks to all of you for coming out on Friday. I drank far too much and parts of the night are blurry, I do remember having a blast and I hope you did as well. Muchas gracias!!!
