Birthday dinner planned with my kids. I would prefer a BYO friendly place Midtown East, or adjacent. Price $75 - $100 per person max. I'm considering Peking Duck House because it's close to the apartment and is BYO friendly. We've been to Avra multiple times, and besides wearing us out, service isn'...

Thomas, nice seeing you again. I think you'd admit that even Flyertalkers can be passionate about wine.

See you soon.

Always get charged in local currencies. If you want to avoid all fees, including ATM fees, please please please sign up for a free Charles Schwab account. This is what most of my travel friends do.

I clicked on the Purchase link, and there's no place for me to sign in??

No. I sent you a message when you previously posted. Did you receive it? I'll PM you now.

Dan, I am keen too.

Dinesh.

I have a degree in marketing, yet I still haven't learned how to read between the lines. Are you interested in joining us?

I know who's bringing the Myriad

Have fun guys, hope to see some of you at Jay's at end of July.

Truth be told, I'm bringing the Champagne. A friend sourced the Myriad from my cellar. See you in July.

Don’t worry about trying to please my fine palate, I pretty sure I cannot attend; you can bring as many bottles of your beloved stuff without worrying. flirtysmile If you call in advance, MP Taverna in Irvington has excellent food, a whole animal option, and was really good with corkage for groups....

Just happened to me #MeToo

I'm interested in North Square. Thanks, Tom

Tom.

I e mailed you. See you soon.

Some good to serious discounts are offered. The '15 Special Selection was $ 100.

I have a few seats available for my Flyertalk wine dinner at North Square. Location on Waverly in Greenwich Village. Sunday June 2 at 6:30. All in cost is $90. Theme is red or riesling. Chanmpagne is always welcome. If interested, let me know. A few of the wines posted: 2006 Taittinger Champagne Bru...

I attended several offlines at Peking Duck House (PDH) in NYC. Every type of liquid that goes into a bottle was present.

Basically, all of the above.

I enjoyed my magnum 6 years ago at my 60th birthday dinner.

Nothing but the best for my non-geek family > a Berserkerday deal > 2017 Paetra Riesling Elwetritsche (USA, Oregon, Willamette Valley, Eola - Amity Hills). No point in wasting something really good. This will be enjoyed by all.

I'm bringing a 2015 PYCM Saint-Aubin "La Pucelle" and a 2016 Walter Scott Pinot Noir Cuvee Ruth. My friend still TBD on wine.

You can bring this to the Flyertalk wine dinner next month.

2012 Sojourn Ridgetop Pinot Noir. Love me some Sojourn with some age on them. Cherries and spice. Really smooth and elegant.

Umm...
Dan are you feeling ok ? That's not an American wine ! Nor were there any US wines in attendance last week, when a small crowd of us ate there

I have no clue as to what you're talking about.

I'll bring a 2010 Joh. Jos. Prüm Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese.

Why? Why this, specifically? (I can participate in either, but seems random) It is random, was just making a suggestion for a virtual tasting that I thought most WB'ers would be able to participate in. Selfishly, I love both 2000 Bordeaux and Grand Puy Lacoste [cheers.gif] You give me/us too much c...

I hope this time that I can order off the menu, or at least let the experts help me decide what to order. The whole pig we had last time was a once in a lifetime.

It's official. Alaska Airlines announced that the Wine Check is now the official wine flies free carrier. No bag fees when checking your Wine Check! Kudo's to Todd French for arranging this.

I have not forgot about it, I have taken on a new client and thus I am working in the city until at least 6pm or so for the next two months.

Might have to make this a weekend event perhaps on a Sunday, otherwise someone else can take the lead.

Or... we can meet in the city.

I like the idea.. you and Hammer are on the same page with respect to Cali Cabs... although it has been a while since I have tasted with him and his palate might have changed. I am also going to suggest tasting blind... so we can some fun.. Ah NO. Hammer doesn't do change well. Most of my cellar is...

If interested > 2011 Schrader Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon RBS Beckstoffer To-Kalon Vineyard. $215. I live just north of the city.

#478 says thank you Eric. Before you came along, my wine list was on a piece of 8 x 11 paper; listing all 30 or so bottles.

I'm based in NYC. Haven't gone to Finger Lakes yet but I've been meaning to go. But also I'd like an excuse to get out of the country!

A pleasant day trip or overnight is to the north shore of Long Island. Check out Paumanok.

Updated through January 17, 2019.

I drank the SLH 2016 Sandler Wine Company Chardonnay at our Seder last night. Since Ed Kurtzman is a Jewish winemaker, it's allowed. A little harsh on pop 'n pour. After 30 minutes, it was the best QPR ever of a California Chardonnay. My cost $25.00. Wish I had more. This was tasty and delicious. Th...

I voted for the Raiders (cough cough) with a second choice of Dallas.

Thanks for all the great recommendations everyone. I just moved down today into my rental. Can't wait to nail down a house. Actually saw one today in Greenwich (right on NY border and close to work). Beautiful area and very close to work. Taxes I hear are much less as well as electric? Is there any...

If you want someone to taste test your preparation, I'm available.

If you're driving to Grasslands (Westchester Medical Center), the exit off the Sprain can be a pain in the morning. My wine go to is Grapes the Wine Company on Route 22 in North White Plains.

Yes, that list is quite outdated.. Time for Hammer to update a new one.

It's not for me to update the Westchester list. I don't have access to the edit function.

It's my understanding that the person that posts an offline also suggests the restaurant.

Any current updates or additions?

This may help... viewtopic.php?f=22&t=23060

I wonder if I can bring in my schrader Old Sparky Mag and trade it for dinner with multiple guests.
Price for the 2015 on the menu $1990.

We had a bagels and lox brunch at my nieces house. She told me to bring a good wine; and so I did, to a house of non-geeks. I (we) very much enjoyed a '17 Jean Edwards Cellars Sauvignon Blanc Dalla Gasperina Vineyard. It went well with what we ate. No notes, but if you open this now, it's ready to e...

We went to the original (and spacious) Eataly when we were there. It's a totally different experience than New York and Chicago.

Put me down for a tentative 2 humans. Maybe +2 dogs if that's still okay. Does anyone have a contact for Peking Duck House from when Michel organized those dinners? Maybe I'll give it a try for Friday. Or I could do something local if people are willing to hop on a PATH train. I thought it was Bank...
