A few of my wine buddies and I were talking about getting together for a wine dinner some time in the next few months in the Hartford area. Anybody interested in joining to make us a group of 6 or 8 people ? It would probably be a weekday.
Interested so far
1, Jonathan Sirot-2003 Abreu Thorevilos + 2000 Peby Faugeres
2. Kevin Foley +1-1997 Dominus Estate + 1993 Chateau Megyer Tokaji Aszu 5 Puttonyos
4. Chris Foley +1-2004 Veuve Clicquot La Grande Dame+ 2012 Merryvale Solstice
6. Jay Presbie- 1998 Domenico Clerico Barolo Ciabot Mentin Ginestra
8. Chris and Andrea Spence-2012 Outpost Immigrant True Vineyard + 2011 Fernand & Laurent Pillot Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Vergers +tba
Great those dates are good with me. I will check with Jay and Joe and also see if there is anyone else I know who would like to attend. Anyone else from the board interested ? Chris and Kevin would you be bringing a +1 ?
Great getting some good response. We are thinking of Sunday Dec 4th or Sat the 10th or Sun the 11th. Leaning towards the 10th at this point but going with consensus what works for you?
I’ll try to get a definitive from my wife this weekend.
Any thoughts on location yet?
That may influence her decision since the wine won’t be much of a factor for her.
Caveys in Manchester may be friendly wrt corkage fees.
I’m not familiar with any place west of the river.
Open to suggestions from anyone. Called Caveys and the person to speak to is out till Tuesday. I will get back to her. Avert in West Hartford is $20 per btl but they are willing to work with us. I will hear back from them later tonight and report back
