The down side of such and event would be if it were like some events I
have attended in the past where two or three people bring semi serious
wine and everybody else shows up with the 47 pound Rooster or Yellow
Tail. On the other hand it could be an interesting event if all
attending have a similar philospohy and pocketbook.

An event along the lines of a Bill Spohn afternoon would be good- OK
fantastic and beyond my dreams-Some regulars post notes from events that
could be considered parties and yet have some significant wine education
involved.
