Wine Tasting: part two?

I really wanted to make a pun with Bordeaux, so now that that's out of the way. I'm looking for interest in another wine tasting event at EPIC this year. Last year was quite successful, given certain aromatic contributions of that closed space. Being at the house will also give us the opportunity for more food options. I do think we'd stick with disposable glasses since I doubt we have access to enough to use in that manner, especially if the number of people interested increased over last year. I'll also have tasting cards this time to help people remember what they enjoyed. I'm trying to gauge interest and any suggestions to keep it the same, make some changes, etc. Thanks for listening, Tushon out.

*drops mic*

1) spectrum tasting (lots of different styles)
2) something more focused, like a couple verticals of particular styles)
3) you're weird and we can't be friends
4) it's an eve joke, I'm sorry

    Oh wups. If those are my options, I want option 1, then. I thought you meant drink exactly the same wines as last year.

    I voted Fermented Farts because Norm, but DEFINITELY in if I make it this year. Also, Option 1.

    I don't know if we can get bolder/beefier red than a straight-up Zin, but if that's possible, I'd dig that immensely.

    I have moved my explanation up to the top to get around my bad jokes.

    That's precisely why I phrased it that way.

    I would be amused by either option 1) or 2). Basically...if you put wine in front of me, I will drink it.

    I missed this last year, but I should be in this year. I'm looking forward to learning what good wine tastes like.

    Are you saying there wasn't any other option, or you're confused about the choices?

    Well, I will get something together again. Expect $15 or so.

    Mostly I was commenting on my invariable lack of options... as a vegetarian. I haven't exactly been bringing my A-game to Icrontic lately.

    Is there anyway we could make it 8pm? I am pretty sure I have a test from 3-5pm then a 3 hour drive from GR :( I totally understand if its not possible as I am only one person, just figured I would inquire.

    I shall try to include more vegetable rennet cheeses this time, but they only had one last time at the store. I'm also going to have some bread, meats, olives, etc (obviously exclude you from meats), so it should be a better mix.

    @HumerusMeg I can bump it to 7pm, but assuming a 2 hr event I can't go later than that or it will conflict with the main TF2 tournament. That should buy you enough time to catch the second half, at least.
