I am down for May 9th or any other date in early May other than May 2nd. I have tickets to see Pearl Jam at MSG that night…
If we end up doing Sonoma, I think you can leave it wide open to whites and reds and end up with a good mix. While zin, Pinot and chard dominate, there are so many varietals produced in Sonoma.
Hope I can make this one! I have a lot of different wines from Sonoma that would be fun to share.
Hi Please count me in. Thanks for organizing. I have something which should be good in my stash. It’s from my honeymoon. While the marriage didn’t last, I did discover a talented small producer and her wines are usually pretty tasty.
Hi. I have a feeling my wine will be better with a decant. It’s a 2009 Cab. Sauv and may still be a tad tight though reviewers say patience and a long decant will be rewarded. What do you “experts” recommend? I do have one of those handheld aerators I can bring. Should I just go with the plan that the restaurant will have decanters, open mine as soon as I arrive and decant immediately? Is there a good travel decanter folks can suggest?
Works for me.
I have a lot of Bedrock and Carlisle, so if anyone was planning on bringing one of those too, we could do a vertical or horizontal or something interesting.
In. Have a Bedrock Cuvée Karatas, Rivers Marie Chardonnay or Loring Pinot Noir at the moment. Will also be out in RRV in 2 weeks so can pick up something “rarer”.
I have a ton of Sonoma wines from various trips so I will see what everyone else is bringing and then try to fill in any gaps. I am heavy in Sonoma chard, pinot and zin but also have some syrah, cab, sangiovese and other random bottles as well. Either way, should be fun. All of the last 3-4 places we have gone have been excellent so whatever works for everyone else is fine with me.
No venue yet. Tony and I had talked about PDH downtown, but another possibility is to go to Hill Country BBQ, which has notoriously low corkage (10/bottle) and an unlimited food deal on Mondays.
I’m definitely open to other suggestions! I’d like to make our reservation this week though.
I could definitely help with any sort of turley/carlisle/bedrock vertical or horizontal with any of the historic vineyards. you can add arnot roberts to that list if we want to do syrah.
My name is Alex Fridlyand and I’m a friend of Larry’s. I’ve been interested in joining the group for a while. Would definitely love to come on May 9th if there is still space. Let me know and cheers everybody!
