Boone's is sort of an inside joke at the meeting. A few years ago, a couple of jags* from Region 3 brought Boone's** to the dinner. They dressed it up real nice, using their ice buckets and serving with the cloth napkins. It morphed into a "pass around toast" at the Region 3 table(s) and anyone else who sits in the proximity of Region 3 (I think people get there early to avoid such situations). The display at the last dinner is the leading factor in the choice of the hospitality hosts this year

*Pittsburgh (i.e Da'burg) slang, short for "jag off", someone who is a goofball
**Boone's is no longer the "wine" we remember from our teen years. It is now a "malt beverage" at about 6% alcohol (which is better than that 3.2% crap in OK)
