Is Tasty working the cellar at NHC this year?

Hi, just a quick question which hopefully someone can answer before I ship my 2nd round entry out tomorrow. Is Tasty going to be the cellarmaster for NHC? If so I was going to ship him a few extra bottles for his head-stash!

My guess is no. I just attended a meeting for planning for the 2011 NHC and they weren't even sure if the BN was going to have a BNA here or if Paxton was going to prepare the award banquet dinner. My guess for both of those is yes, but they mentioned a cellaring committee and made no mention of someone from this year's NHC or last year's participating.

Granted I don't know for sure, but based on what I learned this week, I'm fairly confident in saying that Tasty will not be the cellarmaster this year.

Cellar team is always local.

Cellar team could always use a gift cause when they're doing the job right, they're busting balls the size of EPCOT for virtually no love. It's a crappily hard job.

Cellarmaster for the NHC is a job that you can only be tricked into taking once. Eric Anderson will be your cellarmaster this year. I met Eric at least year's conference when he spent a good amount of time in our cellar to see how we were doing things. I expect he and his crew will do a flawless job this year.

Well, Tasty, I'm sorry you won't be getting a few presents because you deserve it. But, as Drew mentioned, it's always good Karma to "tip" the cellar team and show your appreciation. So I will throw a couple of extra bottles in or whatever I can fit in the box I am shipping. Good luck in 2nd round guys!

First rule of 2011 NHC is that we don't talk about 2011 NHC!!!!

Thanks for the advanced news...we'll make sure Charlie and Gary know it was you
