[Matt Richman]

Geez Dale, you can't even GIVE your wine away.

[Dale Williams]

Geez Dale, you can't even GIVE your wine away.

0 for 2. If I strike out Monday, I might say it's a sign from G*d. I'll use 4 of the bottles for a dinner at Afghan Kebab, I'll pay for dinner, get 3 guys to make another donation.

[JC (NC)]

I'll look forward to hearing from Mark Roth. We may get snow this Saturday. Getting the bottles to UPS or Fedex may have to wait a few days.

[Dale Williams]

Jane,
I don't believe there's any hurry for any of these, as long as donors and winners get in touch. That's a heckuva nice prize, I'll be interested in what he chooses!

[Carl Eppig]

Wow! I'll bet all sorts of folks are hoping the hit th S&P on Monday vice the DJA.

[Robert Reynolds]

[JC (NC)]

I got excited thinking I had won a prize from Edmunds St. John but I was looking at the drop in the market quote which ended in .65, not the final quote which ended in another decimal number.

Chef Carey

I'll send Howie/Sam contact info, as well as Steve/Chef later tonight, I've got to go home and get on road - dinner at CIA in Hyde Park
Congrats to Sam and Chef, and thanks to donors!

Jane, I almost posted results based on % drop once!

[Sam Platt]

Yes! I am a winner! Looking forward to sampling Hart Cellars wares.

[ChefJCarey]

Okay, I'm going to renege on my previous promise to not accept a prize if I won. Kinda. There were two wines on the list I can't buy here - Howie's and Steves (I cant locate any ESJs despite Steve giving me the name of his distributor up here a while back).

Those were the prizes I'd been hoping for.

But, although I'm going to accept the prize I'm going to contribute the retail value of the wine to my charity.

[Steve Edmunds]

Geez, now I'm going to have to clean out the garage!

[ChefJCarey]

Geez, now I'm going to have to clean out the garage!

Well, if you got any of that dusty old wine you want to get rid of send it my way.

[Steve Edmunds]

I need your coordinates, Chief. If you send an email to info @edmundsstjohn.com, it'll get to me.

[ChefJCarey]

I need your coordinates, Chief. If you send an email to info @edmundsstjohn.com, it'll get to me.

Done, my man.

Today will be the final drawing (at least with me running it!)
DJIA: Bottle of Tobin James Dusi Zin (Carl)
S&P: 4 bottles of Bordeaux from 4 decades (DW)
Nasdaq: case of ESJ Bone Jolly (Steve Edmunds)

Hopefully we have 3 winners, If there are no winners for Carl or Steve's lots and they wish to continue, I'll let them do so. If there is no winner for my prize, I'm switching gears and offering several of those bottles as centerpiece for a charity dinner, where an additional donation gets 3 or 4 NYC geeks some mature Bdx and Afghan kebabs.

Previous winners:
Larry Young won 3 bottles of 97 Ridge, courtesy of David Bueker

If anyone has any problems connecting with their donor or winner, let me know.

Thanks again to everyone. We raised $6K not counting about 10-12 people who chose to make their amounts private. Hopefully everyone had fun. Jenise and Robin, I think we can let the sticky slide, and this thread can gracefully sail off into the sunset. I wish I could promise there would never be a need for another of these, but life has these tragedies. I am grateful to be part of a community that responds so well.

[Robin Garr]

Robin, I think we can let the sticky slide, and this thread can gracefully sail off into the sunset.

Again, Dale, thanks to you for your inspiration to do this. $6K-plus may be a drop in the overall bucket, but it's a significant statement from this community, and I think we can all give ourselves a round of applause.

[Alan Wolfe]

What Robin said.

[Mark Lipton]

Many thanks, Dale, not only for initiating this event, but also for coordinating it so well and so efficiently. Many thanks also to all those who donated money to any of those worthy organizations in this time of tragedy for Haiti. Good luck to all in these final drawings!

Mark Lipton

[Steve Edmunds]

Mark, unless I read it wrong, you won!

[Carl Eppig]

Looks like Doug to me!

[Dale Williams]

OK, we have 3 winners!

Hey, my prize goes to Jersey City's own Jay "Fruitisnotnecessarilyaflaw/Pointless/Good" Miller! Good, I can drop off rather than ship (somehow I think that the chances of Jay choosing the 1988 Bon Pasteur are slim!

Nasdaq: case of ESJ Bone Jolly (Steve Edmunds)

Steve, you're right, the good chemist is the winner of the Bone Jolly! Congrats to  Mark Lipton.

Thanks once again to all who participated, both as prize donors and donors to Haiti.

Hear! Hear!
