Hi,
I will be in Chicago to promote Zepaltas Wines, and attend the West of West tasting on the 20th. I am trying to see if any Berserkers would be interested in getting together at a BYOB on Monday the 17th. I plan on bringing a lineup of old library wines and the current releases to share. I would love to get something together for some good food and wines. Please chime in if you are interested.
Sounds good Michael. Do you have any recs on good BYOBs.I have some friend letting me know about some others, but would be interested to know your faves.
There are loads of good BYOs Ryan. Do you have any food preferences? The good news is that on a Monday night we should be able to get in almost anywhere we want without trouble.
For a bigger group though (over 6) this picking are smaller.
My favorite at the moment is braciola. We did another offline there from WS forum and it was great. Food is delicious and their back room has lots of space. Great patio if it’s warm enough too.
Other ideas fellow Chicagoans? Looking forward to meeting some of you for the first time.
Please respond after this post if you are a definite for Monday May 18 – I want to get a firm headcount. I will update this post so we have a running count.
Ryan – anything in particular that you’d like us to bring? Maybe a nice sherry like Harvey’s Bristol Cream? (Do they still make that even?)
