Mai Madigan (board member) will be in town in December, and she asked me to organize an offline on December 28 - Wednesday. Let’s say 7:00.
Dinner will be at http://www.ryegrill.com/< this is new.
No theme, but bring something you’d like to share. The restaurant is steps away from the Rye station of the New Haven Line.
BYO is $20. per bottle.
So far:

I will have two sons and a daughter-in-law at home that night so maybe I can drag some of them along to fill things out. Do you have a theme? What does she like?
2011 Hudelot Baillet Chambolle Musigny Vieilles Vignes - I had this at Takazawa earlier in the year and it was a head rush from the first sip.
2009 Ganevat Chardonnay Cuvee de Garde Jura - Is there ever really enough Ganevat on the table
Thank you Dan and IO look forward to meeting some faces to go with handles.
Full disclosure: Like Dan, I am one of those, err, Flyertalk people. What’s worse, one of the original 200 or so from back in '98 so although the fondness for such things is there, the conversation at our table can quite happily be anything under the sun.
