World Bank annual meetings this same weekend. Perhaps we should invite the French delegation to join us?

I'm not sure we will have room for them, MichaelP, Joel tells me we are going to have 30-40 attendees as its is!
I don't know if there are any themes or blind tastings planned.

Re: ********BWE DC ‘24: October 24 to October 27.****
I'm thinking dinner at Black Salt on Thursday evening with some light wine consumption, perhaps a little wine shopping next door beforehand. It sounds like a number of BWEers are coming in on Thursday.
Re: ********BWE DC ‘24: October 24 to October 27.****
Interesting
It sounds good to me
We will see who are there, eventhough with a light consumption, we can have Bordeaux thematic.

Re: ********BWE DC ‘24: October 24 to October 27.****
Oh I’m flexible, JF, something light on Thursday evening.
Re: ********BWE DC ‘24: October 24 to October 27.****
Hello. Almost two months away, is a sketch for 3 dinners has been proposed? Just to plan a ahead.
Re: ********BWE DC ‘24: October 24 to October 27.****
Hello. Any news on venues or themes, as it is in less than 2 months now.
Re: ********BWE DC ‘24: October 24 to October 27.****
Ok if we do Black Salt for Thursday night, how many people are coming Thursday so I can reserve?
Do people still want the traditional Charlie Palmer for Saturday night? Or to change it up?
Jim I know you enjoyed Bistrot Lepic but I think their room will only fit like 12-15 people so they might not work for Friday or Saturday, depending on how many attendees we have we might need to do them Thursday with fewer people if we do them at all

Thanks, Marcus. Lucie and I will join the group at Black Salt Thursday night.
Re: ********BWE DC ‘24: October 24 to October 27.****
Lisa and I are not arriving until Friday.
I like the traditional Charlie Palmer but you DC guys seems to have the town wired so I trust you to select places that will work well for us.

Greetings from Asia!
I was trying to hook up with Joel before I left for Paris but it did not seem to happen.
Seriously, I defer completely to the decisions of Joel and Marcus, I am fine with whatever you guys decide.
I think we have like 25 BWEers signed up plus Joel says he expects another 10+ locals, so I think we could have between 25-40 folks for the Friday and Saturday night events.
I think Black Salt on Thursday night for a smaller, more low key crowd sounds great, we should try to get final numbers for a quiet Thursday night dinner.
Thanks Marcus and Joel for taking the lead on this, I trust whatever you ultimately decide.

Marcus, Bistro Lepic for Thursday night would be excellent from my perspective, I’m not glued to Black Salt. I really enjoyed the food and service there at our last dinner, I think other BWEers would like it. But, again, I’ll defer completely to you guys.

We’re ok with three dinners, at any venue. Will just be happy to see everyone.
Re: ********BWE DC ‘24: October 24 to October 27.****
How many of the 23 BWE-ers will be attending Thursday night?
I realize folks may not sign on here often, so I may start another thread asking that, but starting here

Re: ********BWE DC ‘24: October 24 to October 27.****
I'll be there all three nights but it is really going to be a weekend of moderation as I have to fly back to Maine on Sunday afternoon with a two week securities fraud trial starting on Monday morning. Yuck.

Re: ********BWE DC ‘24: October 24 to October 27.****
I’ll probably bring a couple of 2004s for Saturday.
Re: ********BWE DC ‘24: October 24 to October 27.****
I don't have any top 1964s left, but I'll bring something from 1964 for Saturday.
I don't have any, but 1934 was a very good vintage. I joined Tim, Francois and a friend of his for a lunch a Paris a number of years ago with 5 1934s, including Latour. That was great.

I like your thinking, Eddie.
Re: ********BWE DC ‘24: October 24 to October 27.****
I'm also thinking about a couple of 1964s for Friday. 1964 was a great vintage in Spain and Italy.

I have no more 1964 Bordeaux. Does anyone want to try a 1984?

Re: ********BWE DC ‘24: October 24 to October 27.****
I had an '84 Cos once. It may have been more boring than a '93 Batailley....
Re: ********BWE DC ‘24: October 24 to October 27.****
Maybe what I have to offer is also worse than a '93 Batailley despite that fact that, according to WineSearcher, its current price is $457.
Re: ********BWE DC ‘24: October 24 to October 27.****
Every Bordeaux vintage has winners and losers (maybe not 1956).
If you bring it, we will drink it. Enthusiastically!

Please add Nalan and I to the lists for the three evenings: Thurs-Fri-Sat.
I'll be in the cellar the week prior to the event and know I have a few 64 Bordeaux and Italian, so I'll bring some. That's for Thurs correct?
I might have a 34 Petrus. I bought a few unlabeled decades ago from Christies Amsterdam and brought one to BWE 2005 (or was it 2015?) in Bordeaux and everyone that had some thought it tasted as we've all read about such a wine. In any case it was pretty good.
My old cellar list shows one dry white 84. I'll bring it if I find it? Also could be a poor condition 24. Let's see what I find.
No 44 or 54.

Awesome MichaelP!
I thought we had a separate list somewhere for the Thursday night dinner, I'm looking for it.
No I think Eddie and Stefan were talking about bringing '64s to the Saturday night dinner.
Here is our typical schedule:
Thursday: Champagne, Bordeaux, Sauternes.
Friday: Anything But Bordeaux.
Saturday: Champagne, Bordeaux, Sauternes.
