Hi,
I’d love to join if there is still space available. Thanks, Jonathan

Unfortunately the date no longer works for me, have fun!

I’ll bring 2007 Antoniolo Gattinara San Francesco

Bringing a 2013 Giacomo Conterno Barbera d’Alba Francia…Love me some barbera!

Bringing 2010 Vajra Langhe Freisa Kye.

Hi Tony, please count me in + 1. Looking forward to it!

Hey everyone, we are confirmed for next Monday. There are some minor changes to the menu. Dinner will start at 6:30 and held in an exclusive room called “The Study”. See everyone on Monday.

Looking forward to it! See you all then

sounds great, we are bringing a magnum of 2005 Rovellotti Ghemme Riserva “Costa del Salmino”.

Still in. Menu sounds fun.

Bringing:

2011 Montalbera Ruché di Castagnole Monferrato
2006 Travaglini Gattinara Tre Vigne

Unless someone would prefer a white wine over the ruche? I think the ruche will be interesting though…

I love that Ruche in every vintage. Ruche is very interesting and I would bring it.

Looking forward to tomorrow. See if you have time to watch Somm In The Bottle. It’s a fun documentary!

Done.

Will be there, looking forward to it.

Not bringing the wine I originally planned, but sticking to the Amarone plan.

-Dennis

Looks like my +1 is out but I will still be able to make it. See you guys soon.

Wow. How are there no posts after last night??? :astonished:

Great time as usual. Shocked at how well all of the wines showed. Food was also excellent. A big thank you to Tony as usual for putting this all together!!! Really good time all around. :slight_smile:
