I’m interested, as well.
I am interested too.
Sign me up!
Count me in!
The band is getting back together and I am in.
At this pace , I will have to bring magnums
Yes
I make 12. I need to be there just to learn how to pronounce Herwig’s name 
I will be in attendance if there is an available seat. Lucky number 13? 
PS, is the theme Italian per the name of the thread?
I’ve madly volunteered to get this together, will start contacting restaurants in SF shortly to look for a space. I will do my best but I may only be able to secure space for 8 or 10, so will update as I progress.
Theme: I’ll put out 2002 Red Burg/Champagne as a suggestion but would be thrilled to hear other ideas. Or we could do a free for all!
FWIW, places like Frascati have rooms that can seat more than 8-10.
I’ve organized a few of these dinners in SF, and the issue is less the size of the group than the type of place that will let us bring our own wine at a reasonable corkage. Frascati’s website has a 3 bottle maximum with escalating corkage, which may mean they aren’t receptive to a group bringing 12-15 bottles.
Zazie or Chou Chou?
Zazie will insist on a fixed menu if you are 8 or more and is quite cramped on Tuesdays, although I like their food a little more than Chou chou.
