Dinner offline with Roy Hersh - Dec 6th - Long Beach, Ca.

Roy Hersh is coming to Los Angeles so that means we need a gathering of Port lovers. We will keep it to about 10-11 people. This will be a casual dinner, share some wines and Ports and enjoy each others company. This will not be a structured tasting, just a typical offline. The restaurant has amazing food and are known for their dry aged steaks, so come hungry and thirsty.

Dinner on Tuesday December 6th.

THEME:
Any Port (Vintage or Colheita) older than 1980. If you would also like to bring a table wine that is ok as well as it would be nice to have some to start the evening off with.

WHEN:
Tuesday, December 6, 2016

LOCATION:
555 East American Steakhouse
555 E. Ocean Blvd.
Long Beach, Ca 90802

TIME:
5-6pm arrival
Dinner will start promptly at 6pm

COST:
We have a $90 per person “food and beverage” min., which isn’t hard to do once everyone gets an appetizer, meal, dessert and whatever else you want. Each person is responsible for their own bill.

CORKAGE:
There is no charge for the first 12 bottles we bring, it’s $10 per 750ml thereafter. Whatever we go over, we can all chip in and split it.

PARKING:
The restaurant valet is actually on Linden Ave., about 1/4 block north of Ocean Blvd. The front entrance of the restaurant is also on Linden Ave. You really can’t see it very well from Ocean Blvd, even though it has an Ocean Blvd address. Valet is $8 if you aren’t using Uber/Cab/Walking.

HOTELS:
There are a number of nearby hotels, so take your pick if you need one.


Please RSVP as soon as possible.
