I'm a longtime Baylor fan but new to the Sicem365 world and stumbled upon this thread. I know it's been dormant for a couple of years, but if any of you wine folks find yourselves in town for a Baylor game, I'd love to meet up and open some bottles.

I've been cellaring wines for the past 8 or so years and have a lot of stuff I'd be happy to share. My wines skew more towards the esoteric and natural, but some good surprises in there.

---

based on your second post, I'm always down for some classic whites from the Loire valley, so let's get a bottle share on the books! I'm not as fully invested into the natural world, although I've had some I loved.

---

In April or May I'd be down for a meet up to drink a bottle or two if Houston is the spot.

---

I'm in Houston for work a couple of days a month usually. We could easily meet there if it works for everyone

---

We could meet up at AOC, order in food, be a good time. I'm flexible since I live here.

---

I've been wanting to go there. Trying to convince our mutual friend to split a locker with me. I'm down in April or May for the most part. Let's try and set it up.

AOC would be great! I'll be in town April 18th as of right now but will likely have other trips on the books in the coming weeks.

I'm sure I can make something work. I can see clients either day of day or the day after.

I've got April 18th circled.... I'll provide the venue access and y'all provide wine and food! Seems fair

works for me! I'll bring a bunch of wine down and we can order food in!

I'll bring a bottle or two. I brought back a nice 2010 Brunello from a recent trip to Italy. I'll also bring either a bottle of Eisele Cab or Kapscandy. Let me know if you have a preference.

I have myself booked and ready to go.

bring that Brunello and let's do it!

While there I'm hoping to check out getting a locker. We are overflowing with wine and I'd love to add some nice bottles to age. Have a buddy who wants to split it.

have you reached out to anyone? I can do the intro and likely someone will be there when we are, but be good to see what is available and pricing. Let me know if you want a specific email to someone up there.

I think you have my personal email, so fire away and I can send you contacts.

They said it's a waitlist. I think a medium locker would work. I had Liz Palmer respond to my email. She said she would put me on the waitlist.

They're in the process of expanding the number of lockers so I'd imagine they'll be able to find a spot for you before too long!

LIz is the chief, so you got the right person responding! Something will likely open up in the next couple of months and as said by dmayfield, they are expanding at some point in the future to provide more storage space.

If not AOC, any other places you'd recommend?

And is anyone here involved in making their own wine? I currently put up from apples, every year a bottle of about 50 litres is available for guests. Do you have any tried and tested recipes or what do you mostly make wine from?

I'm team AOC all the way, just because of the staff.

but, cdv713 is a place that I think some former AOC members started, they seem to have lots of good events, etc. Not sure on costs or anything.

for those that have any interest in German wines and listen to podcasts, I'm listening to an interview with the founder of Von Boden, Stephen Bitterolf, which is really the top German wine importer to US right now.

I find German wines very compelling, even though I don't drink a lot of them, mainly because my wife doesn't enjoy the sweet kiss of a riesling like I do, but that said, very interesting wines.

So the interview is a recent podcast from The Grape Nation. I don't love the interviewer, he interrupts a lot, but if you have any interest in German wines might be of interest.

Vom Boden brings in some great wines--I'll check out the interview.

I'll bring a bottle or two of some Riesling to the meet-up this month as I too don't get to drink these as often as I would like

The first and very small SicEm wine sharing party is coming up. what to share... anyone else on the board in Houston that we should invite? WILLIS maybe? he's a bit of a foodie.

Can't wait.

What time and what is the dress?

I'm open on times, I mean, I'm working that day, but should be able to get off at normal time.

Pants are optional, shoes required. Seriously, no dress code. I'll likely be dressed pretty casual.

530 works for me! And I can start trying to figure out which wines to bring now that the constant checking of message boards about CSD is over

5:30 is great.

we can toast to CSD staying!

so when is the next bottle share for Bears?

next time I am coming into Houston I'll let you know. Hopefully sometime in May.
