Enjoy the tasting guys. And do us a favour, post plenty of pictures on FTLOP / FB / Instagram / Twitter so those of us who can't be with you can share the joy.

Steve and Bradley,
I'm on a plane inbound to Seattle now and will update you if I can make it to Bellevue in time...

Not going to happen. Took too long to get to other airport and rental car. See you tomorrow.

I just wanted to give a huge THANK YOU to all that helped to make the event this weekend both possible and highly enjoyable. There was an embarrassment of riches in terms of delicious, unique, and old bottlings, as well as great company to enjoy them with. I know it took many hands, but I want to give special thanks to Roy and Glenn, as this certainly wouldn't have happened without FTLOP or an intense planning/logistics effort. Bravo, and thanks!

A huge +1. Glenn pulled this off wonderfully (we won't talk about the glasses or... :evil: ) Thanks to all for a wonderful weekend.

What he said! :thumbsup:

Oh, and I thought the venue worked out just fine with nice views, a comfortable room, and staff that responded to our needs. I'd be happy to go there again.
