Re: Messages: Outbox vs. Sent

Thanks! Interestingly, I noticed it the same time it showed I was at 98% capacity with my mailbox, so I had thought it was associated with that. Anyway, I've been getting all of the messages, and vice versa to those i've written to. = all good! Thanks again

Messages: Outbox vs. Sent

Hi. I noticed that some of the e-mails I am trying to send out are ending up in Outbox instead of Sent folder. I emptied my mailbox a little and resent those messages, but they still go to the Outbox. What am I still forgetting to do? Thanks.

Re: Wimbledon Doty: 1966 Horitzontal - Bunghole, June 27th -

Hi! I'm looking forward to seeing you all on the 27th. I still need to adopt a bottle.

Does anyone have anything to bring, which I would pay you the money for?

If by chance nobody has a bottle to sell me, I will, of course, pay cash to the group to cover the financial aspect of my share.

Thanks.

Re: June 6th NYC: Oscar and Vitor come to town tasting

This was an excellent pairing, and it was a great benefit to have the winemakers tell us about the winemaking process and the history behind the wines. I also wish to thank G-Man for organizing the dinner!

Mea culpa! We would all especially love it if someone has photos of the colors of the 60's ports as they didn't appear in my photo above.
