2022 Virtual Tasting #4 - Wed 13 April

Post by nac »

Having remembered that this is in the planner more than one day in advance, who fancies a virtual meet-up on Wednesday 13th April?

Any theme suggestions?

Interested:
  • NAC (although not sure what time I'll be joining - might be quite late)
  • SCD (from about 19.00)
  • AHB
  • Glenn (leaving a little before 22.00)
  • Justin (about 21.00)
  • MichaelC (perhaps; will definitely be late)
  • etc..
MPM - can you provide Zoom magic?

Regret I am at an in-person diner elsewhere...

Probably. I think I can get away with a chat with friends if I’m at home.

I'm in! I will have a meeting that draws my attention for an hour or a little less starting at 11:30 am Pacific, but I've worked around that during these tastings before. It's not on Zoom, just a chat channel, so I won't even have to leave this call to do it.

I will probably be drinking leftovers of some kind.

I’m definitely in. I’ve even chosen what I’ll be drinking!

If I can make it, I’ll be a late joiner - please can I be added just in case?

Silly me, thinking that there would be leftovers after only 8 magnums for 11 people.

I shall have to choose something else to open!

Mike is going to try to work his magic with Zoom for us for tomorrow, but if he isn't able to, I'll subscribe to Zoom for a month and set up our call.

Don't panic if you don't get the Zoom invite from me until about 5pm on Wednesday.

I now have a paid Zoom account and could host if needed, though I now also have a Zoom meeting at 2:00 pm Pacific so would have to end the Virtual Tasting a little before that time if I were hosting.
