I have a good feeling about November 1st, but I'm hoping that Rusty wins.
Wine selection: 7 deadly zins, and Phils Phamous Rhubarb wine.

Noon opening for passholders.

Exactly two weeks from right now.

A nice cabernet.

No doubt K will open as soon as possible, but ma nature is a fickle gal. We're due for a November opening, so I'm going with Nov 2.

Could be a white blend like Conundrum, a Chard like J Lohr or a Sauv Blanc like Nautilus if I can find it, or something sparkly like a Mumm Blanc de Noir. I really just want to see Dork try to fit all that in his grid!

Changing my pick to 10/29.
Will be happy to lose and open much earlier.

NO WINNER

Since the actual opening date is after the latest entry, all the wine goes to the party.
