So... there are 21 cars booked so far!

It looks like it will be a big Aston outing.

The "Hotel Marques de Riscal" looks like the dog's biscuits. Two nights with a Michelin starred restaurant!

Anybody else going?

I don't think I can get the time to do the the add on but the Rioja should be fun with the great Spanish roads

I hope so! AMOC have charged the deposit to my credit card.

Are we doing the "Taster Menu" at the Marques?

Just suggested the 8 course taster - wait to see a chef running away screaming at the prospect of getting nearly 400 plates of food out perfectly!!!

We don't all have to sit down at the same time.

In fact, it would be much better if we sat down at 10 minute intervals.

Good chefs are not able to produce 40 freshly prepared meals simultaneously(sp?).

Looks like it will be 6 course - 8 course considered too heavy for the evening " Waiter, waiter can I have a trolley to put my stomach on as I leave the table!"
