    Bummer indeed. You guys will be missed. How's the second weekend of July look for you guys? Never to early to start planning the next share. Maybe try a Sunday (the 12th) this time?

    Looks like some folks added some nice bottles. Anyone have a '12 La Folie to fill in the vert?

    @Billy_Bars and @fatdeets, that sucks but we always seem to have some good sours at our tastings. I'll make sure that you guys know about the next event we throw!

    I am returning from a trip to Copenhagen and Helsinki on Sunday July 12th and probably won't be able to make that date. Is there another date that works?

    I'll be leaving for philly the weekend of July 12th (probably Friday) and will be gone for 4 weeks, so I could probably only do the holiday weekend before if anyone is in town. I'll try to grab plenty of RR while I'm in philly though!

    I switched jobs and may have the occasional Saturday free and I'll be in the city. Let me know when the next get together is.

    Correction, I'll be bring Upright Jeux D'eau, and not Blend Love. I got my bets mixed up. I'll check on that 2012 La Folie. There's a chance i may have that.

    Managed to snag a couple of extra tickets to the beer circus if anyone wants to head over that way after the tasting. Think it only goes til 5 tho so we'll see how quickly we power thru these sours!?!

    I'll make sure to bring the sang in the future and add the apricot to the list.
