you planning on going ?
I'm guessing that my ability to hold down my whiskey doesn't come within a mile of a $110 price tag. Pass. [laugh]

I was worried about that as well :P
Not to thread jack but the Sake tasting celebration in Japan Town San Jose was really fun this year. I will give you guys a heads up when it comes around again.

You have to ask? Of course I am.
$110!!!!! That's two glasses of McCallen 25yr Special reserve!
In all seriousness, it's just too much for me to spend these days. I'll just add this to the "next year" list.

Seriously though... how does one manage 4 hours of whiskey tasting? Isn't it like +11 billion x more alcohol than in wine....

Mostly in a vertical state, with a heavy chance of horizontality as the evening progresses.
Feel free to watch. Now that you and frances broke up, you're free, no?
I'm very interested. I have been wanting to taste 23 year van winkle and they will have it there. So if I start drinking HEAVILY now, I will have my tolerance built up by Oct. 10th.

Or you will become an Alcoholic ;D
Lets make an event out of this =) Who is going to drive us there ???
If the designated driver admission is a fraction of the $110 I think I should be able to drive.
Maybe.
Need to practice up on the centuries for the endurance! [thumbsup]

Hmm, just called, and designated drivers get all of a $20 discount. $90 to go and stand around and watch other people get smashed? [roll]

There is no way this is going to end well.
But I'm so in.

They should promote a designated Driver at least.
San Francisco would like you to be green and use public transportation.

Let's buy our own whiskey and get smashed for that price ;D

No, that's the VIP cost. It's $110.
Also, bump!
So is anyone else really going to this?
If so, I'll see you there. [wine]
Well How was it ???
Who Went ???
So, after a couple of tastes, my buds were shot.
Everything tasted the same after the first hour or so. :-\
Good experience, I'll do it again, but wasn't that great.
In the end, I still like what I already liked. Cheap, but not too cheap. :P [thumbsup]
I ended up being too ill to leave the house, let alone drink. Suck.
