I have to be in Chicago again for an ABA conference that ends at 4:30 pm on Friday, May 16. Last year, you guys were nice enough to plan an entire weekend of conspicuous consumption starting an hour after the conference was over. Not that I am expecting a reprise, but I wouldn’t mind another trip to that place with the Peking Duck and Roast Suckling Pork.
Tentative attendees: POST WINES IF YOU GOT 'EM.
Me - I always bring Saxum to these, regardless of food pairing, and if I can fit it in the suitcase, a 2011 Knebel Winninger Röttgen Kabinett.

Jay – I’m very disappointed that I will miss you. I’m leaving on the 16th to head east, first to my friend’s son’s Bar Mitzvah and then for some r&r in NYC. I know you’ve been here before, but if you need any travel guidance don’t hesitate to ask.
