Author Message   Dave Posted on Friday, March 23, 2001 - 9:01 am:        Join special guest Wayne Young, former tasting coordinator for _Wine Spectator_ and sommelier at several of NYC's finest Italian restaurants, for a virtual wine tasting. (Local connection: CHS grad '83.) What are some good bargains? What's hot in the world of wine? Do they really squash the grapes with their feet? How much is too much? Get all your fermented grape questions answered. This is the first of what we hope is a regular online happening on Maplewood Online. New guest chats will be announced in this emailer and on the message board. http://www.maplewoodonline.com/chat Mem, this was arranged for you.   Mem Posted on Friday, March 23, 2001 - 10:35 am:        Dave!!! When is this so I can schedule appropriately? And thanks way so much!   Njjoseph Posted on Friday, March 23, 2001 - 10:37 am:        Mem -- read the heading! :-)   Mem Posted on Friday, March 23, 2001 - 11:14 am:        Sorry, I must have had one too many during my haste to respond to Dave's post!   Face Posted on Friday, March 23, 2001 - 1:59 pm:        I thought there was virtual "whining," consistently on this board!   Nohero Posted on Friday, March 23, 2001 - 2:23 pm:        To the contrary, Face, I for one engage in actual, specific, and very concrete whining - nothing virtual about it.   Joancrystal Posted on Saturday, March 24, 2001 - 2:43 pm:        But how often is it about virtually nothing?   Mem Posted on Saturday, March 24, 2001 - 6:42 pm:        Dave, I downloaded mirc (I think) and I still can't get into the room. This is the message I get: Failure to connect to server: Unknown error. java.net.NoRouteToHostException: Operation timed out. Anything else I should do? I guess I should just come over your house and use your fancy pants computer.   Dave Posted on Saturday, March 24, 2001 - 10:06 pm:        Mem, steal the computer from the office.   Maplewoody Posted on Sunday, March 25, 2001 - 9:19 am:        Mmmmmm... a nice Malbec from Argentina for me!
