MoCOOL 2016 !

by JuliaB » Fri Apr 01, 2016 10:39 pm

TWO OF THE MOST SIGNIFICANT EVENTS IN WINE HISTORY WILL BE CELEBRATED ON AUGUST, 13, 2016...

MOCOOL XXV - Twenty-five years ago, the Motown Co-operative Offline was born, and has become the world's longest running gathering of wired wine lovers!

The Judgment of Paris 1976, is remembered 40 years later, as the contest that sky- rocketed California wines “like a vinous shot heard round the world.” – Barbara Ensrud, Wall Street Journal.

MOCOOL 2016 PRESENTS

Reliving the experience , we will pit the very best reds from Bordeaux against California's finest cabernet sauvignons and Bordeaux blends. Let's challenge whites from Burgundy against top of the line Chardonnays from California. Can you even imagine the phenomenal wines that will appear at this event? Très bon!

Brace yourself for the event of the year! We start this jubilee off on Friday, Aug. 12th, with a meet, greet, wine and eat mingle at Vinology Restaurant where the highlight of the evening will be wines presented and reviewed by none other than Master Sommelier, Madeline Triffon! BYOB of off-theme wines, is welcomed and encouraged, with no corkage fee!

No gala is complete without wine, music and phenomenal food...and we will have it all at the MoCool picnic, August 13, 2016!

When will more information be coming out?
Yes, and how many deaths will it take 'til he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

Send me your email address and I 'll send them. It is too difficult to upload here. Have you tried it? Everyone else sees them on Facebook, I believe.

Where they have been for years: Facebook. I haven't seen any news announcing Canada as being a dominion of Brazil so you should be able to connect from Alberta. Enjoy! :D

Folks, thank you for your patience! Registration site will be up in a day or two. The man behind the curtain is working diligently on it.. This year we have so much more information, and options,compounded by the website software change, it just has taken longer.
Rest assured that MoCool is 100% ready for you! Friday at Vinology is set, Madeline has chosen wines, menu approved..all good. We've ordered the t-shirts, rented the Lodge, tent, tables etc.. the band is rehearsing, Alan has crafted a phenomenal menu (as usual!) even the decorations have been ordered. Get ready to hit the "YES" button very soon! This is really going to be a spectacular anniversary celebration.

Remember the dates are:
Friday, Aug. 12th @6:30pm Vinology
Saturday Aug. 13th @2:00 pm MoCool picnic
Theme is "Bottle Shock" celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Judgment of Paris, and the 25th anniversary of MoCool!

Looking forward to my favorite "family" reunion and wine event of the year!
