Snow and beer ride sounds great to me...count me in. Also ready for the Scotch tasting. It might be a better idea to do this at someones house (Wes?) as most of the establishments I frequent frown upon bringing yer own booze with ya. Perhaps not putting a $ range on it might be good for those not swimming in $..that would be me. As long as its a single malt its all good? I have 2 decent bottles already so I would be willing to sponsor a fellow Canadian who's down on his luck and might not be able to afford such extravagance. 29th sounds good to me.
