May I ask who is supplying the wine? Is this all private or put on by an official group of some kind?

Hey George, both dinners are organized by me and usually filled by the same group of people. Not really anything “official,” but it is something we do every month. However, with it being August, we have a few openings because people are out of town.

For the Beaune dinner, everything was sourced for the dinner. (Cost was a little higher than expected due to lots of 2 day air shipping.) Wines were purchased from JJ Buckely, Old and Rare Wine Co, Belmont Wine, Winebid and Wally’s.

For the Germany dinner, all wines are from the collection of one of the dinner attendees.

Thanks will send PM if schedule works
