I know we tried this afore--and failed

but Chittychattykathy and I emailed about the wine board people getting together.

Why don't we arrange some kind of convention or gathering? We can do it in an off period when most of us have time to kill, and we can do it in a central location like, perhaps, the Midwest or some such place. It would be great to do it overseas, but that is too ambitious for the first time out.

Let's set a thread on the moderator forum where we each post weeks within months that we can be free to attend in 2004. Then, we compile the results--I'll volunteer to do that--and come up with the dates convenient to the most people on the board. Next, we contact a hotel or convention center in a middle ground place, get some rates and then move from there.

Imagine the fun a weekend can be with wines from all our cellars.
