Events

: Sunday May 31st - Older Californian BYOB dinner - NYC; Posted by Gregory Dal Piaz, Apr 15.; I am working with North Square, who took great care of us at our last dinner

http://www.snooth.com/talk/topic/open-that-bottle-night-2009--north-square-restaurant/

and am trying to nail down the details of this dinner. I expect it should run just about $80 per person all in and we have a tentative guest list that includes:

Me
RachelNYC
RBoulanger
MReff
MTB
JoshL
stujakub
brooklynwino
eddiew

As I mentioned previously I will bring magnums and 750's to get this party started.

Some ideas include

Mags of

1966 Louis Martini Mountain Pinot Noir Special Selection
1978 Beaulieu Vineyards Claret Cabernet
1979 Rutherford Hill Cabernet
1985 Charles Krug Cabernet

For 750's I'll have to grab the list I have at home.

Hope to see you all there!

Gary, if you have the wine it would be great if you could include my older vintage Cabs. I know you were able to try the '86. If you have access to the '88 or the '85 both of those are looking pretty nice right about now. If you don't, then I more than understand...they're old

Not sure I have em. Possibly still have another 86 though.

Maybe there's some business out this way you can attend to that week?

I mentioned to Greg T about this, and he is of course 50/50. Chances are he has a hidden gem in his cellar that he paid $8.00 for back in the 80's

2517 1738: Reply by Gregory Dal Piaz, Apr 17.; I spoke with him about it last night too. It's a good deal so let's keep the pressure on him!

2517 1738: Reply by Gregory Dal Piaz, Apr 19.; Well don't fret too much.

I'll bring the older, everyone else just brings as old as they can. If that means a very carefully selected bottle from straight from the shop so be it. This is as much about sharing as it is about getting it right!
