I was up visiting Larry two weeks ago in Los Olivos. He did say he wanted to join one of our gatherings soon. I’d like to take him up on this. March/April dates? We are happy to host.
You put this in twice…
For those not completely speaking the lingo, lost is talking, presumably, about Larry Schaffer, owner and winemaker of Tercero. And all around great guy.
I’d love to see him and have a gathering when he can attend. Happy to use our place as well, especially since it makes the kiddo-wrangling easier.
Wish I’d have known you were going…he’s got a few bottles of Mourvedre waiting up there for me.
@CorTot@rjquillin Of course I vote here, because that makes kiddo wrangling easy. It also makes it a whole lot easier for time2testit and rhwmbo with their little one.
@klezman@rjquillin If you want to get more people to see this, grab the user name lists from the other socal threads. The email seems to help quite a bit…
All crickets from Larry. I may be over sensitive but I would’ve appreciated a simple fly by on this thread by him. I have been a big supporter of his wines and tasting room over the years and a simple yes or no would have been appreciated. In any event, one week away and no details so wondering if we should postpone to later in the Spring?
@losthighwayz Yeah, radio silence for me as well. Obviously this isn’t happening with Larry in 2 weeks, so if there’s still momentum for a gathering that day that’s cool. Otherwise a postponement is in order.
@losthighwayz Yup, let’s do it. Throw out some dates. I’m happy to host or to cede to your original offer. Likelihood is I’ll be flying solo if it’s not at my place.
Well sheeoot, someone was guilting us for not being around much and not hosting anything in a long time…I’m looking at you @klezman…so maybe we might be in to host Larry as well. Just a thought. We’re in the LBC.
@javadrinker You can host any gathering you want, with or without Larry!
April 6 we have houseguests with kids, so that’s a no-go for us both for hosting and for attending.

Sounds fun, definitely interested.
We are interested. For us, we have more Saturdays in March open than in April. Will there be a theme?
Interested as well.
How are March 2 and March 9 for people? I’m checking with Larry on these dates as well…
@klezman good for us.
@CorTot @klezman
Decisions yet on venue?
I vote Klezman, need to do some additional storage tasks there.
@CorTot @rjquillin Of course I vote here, because that makes kiddo wrangling easy. It also makes it a whole lot easier for time2testit and rhwmbo with their little one.

@klezman Both dates seem to work tentatively for me.
@klezman
Both dates are fine at this time.
@klezman
Both dates are fine.
Cory is right. How are March 2 or 9 for you? West LA/Culver City ideally.
@losthiwayz @merrybill @scottw58 @markdaspark @timothyb @javadrinker @funywontons @i8dacat @davirom
I’m sure I’m missing a bunch still…
@klezman My preference would be March 9. Either location works for me.
March 9 is definitely out I will get back to you on the 2nd
Either day will work for my wife and I.
So I see the west side is trying to steal the 562’s thunder! March 2 would work for us. Maybe I should ping Larry?
@losthighwayz I’ve been in email contact with Larry as well (had some club stuff we were discussing) and he’s checking on those two dates still.
@klezman i texted him but no reply yet. Hopefully he can make it.
Well doesn’t sound like Larry has any interest at this time. Still willing to host, Klez?
@losthighwayz Based on lack of response or a conversation? He seemed eager when I last emailed with him.

@klezman @losthighwayz Without confirmation on a date we are now booked up, so a postponement would be good for us.
@losthighwayz
He’s been bottling the past 2 weekends (or weeks) I believe.
He also has a Winemaker’s dinner in Long Beach tomorrow. I’m busy, otherwise I would have gone.
I believe dinner is tonight by the Pike. @MarkDaSpark
Maybe sparky will have better luck getting Larry to join us. Regardless, it would be great to get together . How about April?
@losthighwayz Yup, let’s do it. Throw out some dates. I’m happy to host or to cede to your original offer. Likelihood is I’ll be flying solo if it’s not at my place.
@klezman @losthighwayz My vote would be for the 6th; conflicts with the other Saturdays.
@losthighwayz
6th is fine with me.
Well sheeoot, someone was guilting us for not being around much and not hosting anything in a long time…I’m looking at you @klezman…so maybe we might be in to host Larry as well. Just a thought. We’re in the LBC.
@javadrinker. How does the 6th work?
@javadrinker You can host any gathering you want, with or without Larry!
April 6 we have houseguests with kids, so that’s a no-go for us both for hosting and for attending.
