At X2O in Yonkers this Friday night. I will not be the guy with the Berserker helmet because my wife would KILL me, but I will wear a Berserker lapel pin. Our group is still working out what wines to bring, but let’s just say that Howard, Alf and The Good Jay Miller will not want to sit at our table, and Keith Levenberg would burst into flames just walking by our table, although a mag of 2004 Scavino Bricco Ambroggio and a 1908 Madeira for dessert might be acceptable. If you are going to the event, stop by and say hello.
What are the details of this Jay? Hadn’t heard of it before.
X2o. Tomorrow at 6:30. Wine & Food Events - Westchester Magazine. I do not know if there are tickets left.
Haven’t been to X20 in years!
I cannot make it but seems like tickets are still left:
The famous dinner with Leo and Drew T and everyone?
The food is forgettable but the views are spectacular.
Ate there a few times after that dinner
Great night and over the top wines at our table thanks to Jay and Rebecca Hack who were incredibly generous.

Scavino even performed well amongst heavy hitters.
