Please PM me if you wish to get added/removed to list; this will allow for consistent time stamping in case there is overage.

I defer to groups wishes on Champagne (please post below your preference or donation of a 10th bottle!)
Please send me your wines now or closer to date
Please PM me any suggestions or post here below

For the Dec. 5 dinner, are we sticking to 07 vintage or earlier?

Yes, thank you for the reminder -- I re-inserted that language. Open to eliminating this requirement if people are so inclined, but my impression was folks preferred older vintages.

#5 Post by **TGigante** » August 24th, 2018, 4:55 pm

Happy to provide an 2012 Ultramarine BdB or BdN to either event

If you are serious... can squeeze one more in December... 2000 Bordeaux Left vs. Right bank "shoot out"?

You aren't signing up for any of these?

My cellar is mostly California. French = 14%

I have 3 bottles of Southern Rhone.

Half of my 18 bottles of Bordeaux are 375 sweeties.
I have several '05 and '06 750 reds.

I have 1 white. Maybe you've heard of this > 2006 Château Haut-Brion Blanc.

You can put me down for a 2011 Lignier Morey St. Denis 1er Cru for the 12/5 and a 1997 Ponsot Chappelle-Chambertin for 12/13.

And I can provide a Champagne for the other (as well as a Burg).

Edited: I'll bring a Champagne for the 1er Cru event, either a Comtes or a Winston Churchill if the latter has arrived by then.

My wine will probably be a Mongeard-Mugneret Vougeot Les Cras 1er Cru 2001 unless i open it before then in which case I'll pull something else.

Michael Mahle · #14 Post by **Michael Mahle** » August 28th, 2018, 6:52 am

I actually signed up for the 12/5 dinner. I am unable to make the 12/13 one.

Thanks, M.

I'm already getting crushed trying to find bottles for my own offlines that I have set up...

Hi Greg, the theme on 12/5 has different villages. Is it possible to change that bottle to keep with the theme?

Oh, sure - I'll bring a 2003 Potel Chambolle-Musigny Aux Echanges then.

Dale Williams · September 9th, 2018, 6:19 pm

Interested in both of these. PLenty of choices, if space available I can declare now, or wait till others do and try to come up with good flightmates

#20 Post by **Sh@n A** » September 9th, 2018, 9:19 pm

Looking for a new restaurant location...

Although I am not the OP, it appears there is room at both events, as he is maxing out at 9, and both seem below that number

Dale Williams · September 13th, 2018, 2:32 pm

Sorry, looks like I doublebooked 12/13, need to withdraw.

For 12/5 how about '02 Hudelot-Noellat Beaumonts Vosne, or 02 Fourrier Petits Vougeot? Or if we have a place with flat corkage I could bring a pair of Pommard Rugiens (91 JM Bouley, 99 M Gaunoux, or should have some de Courcels)

#23 Post by **Sh@n A** » September 13th, 2018, 3:30 pm

As place is yet to be finalized (check main thread), can't promise unlimited bottles. Will nail down a place soon.

Dinesh Goyal · September 20th, 2018, 6:04 am

Hey guys

I was wondering if I could sign up for the dinner om13th. Could I confirm the wine once I shift to NYC in about 6 weeks. alternatively happy to buy something now and confirm.

Added. Feel free to let me know closer to the date.

Dale Williams · September 27th, 2018, 10:16 am

Really sorry to pull out, but 12/5 turned out to be only workable night for an annual event.
If you end up with a short table, I'm happy to send an on theme wine to make up for my absence- sure I could get to Jay.

#28 Post by **Sh@n A** » October 1st, 2018, 1:21 pm

Will do Sutton Inn for 12/13. They will offer their pri fixe menu (which will seasonally change by then), plus two additional red meat entrees, sides, and charcuterie/cheese for $111 per person.

For 12/5, want to give folks the option:
- Do the Sutton Inn proposal for $111/person
- Do the Little Frog for $90/person [details outlined in the "Burgundy QPR Thread"], but I think we only get a private room if we have more people

#29 Post by **Gary Zimberg** » October 21st, 2018, 3:43 pm

Hi, if there is room I am interested in the 12/13 GC Burg Dinner. I am of the same sentiment as Dale..... to wait till others do and try to come up with good flightmates

Gary -- added you

Dinesh Goyal · #31 Post by **Dinesh Goyal** » October 22nd, 2018, 1:50 am

Hi, if there is still a spot available, I would like to go +1 for the dinner on 13th.
Thanks

#32 Post by **Sh@n A** » October 22nd, 2018, 4:38 am

That fills up the 13th. Plenty of room for the 5th!

#33 Post by **Paul Jaouen** » November 6th, 2018, 6:06 am

I have to back out of the dinner on the 13th. I now have an extremely early flight the morning of the 14th.

#34 Post by **Joshua Kates** » November 6th, 2018, 5:20 pm

Yes, unfortunately I can't make the 13th either; I won't be back in NYC until the following week. Sorry to miss it.

Michael Mahle · November 11th, 2018, 3:47 am

I regret to inform that I will be unable to attend the 12/5 dinner. Sorry about that that...hopefully this is enough notice to allow those on the waiting list to figure out their plans.

Thank you for the opportunity - I'm sure that I will be disappointed after hearing the recap of the wines/dinner.

M.

#36 Post by **TGigante** » November 19th, 2018, 8:01 am

Have to pull out of 12/5 with regrets.

Still looking forward to 12/13

#37 Post by **Sh@n A** » November 19th, 2018, 8:24 am

Will cancel 12/5 barring objections

I’m open to rescheduling for January if you want to move the date

#39 Post by **Jay Miller** » November 19th, 2018, 8:29 am

Regrettably it does seem to make sense.

Thank you for trying!

#40 Post by **Jay Miller** » November 23rd, 2018, 7:21 am

I'm very sorry, but I just updated my calendar and realized that I inadvertantly scheduled 4 wine dinners in a row that week. I can't manage that so I'll have to bail on this (and postpone my Sherry dinner again).

And I just picked up the wine for this dinner two days ago

November 28th, 2018, 5:44 pm

If there is room for 12/13, I'd like to join.
I pulled an '06 Drouhin Clos de Vougeot from storage, if that fits.

#42 Post by **Sh@n A** » December 5th, 2018, 6:02 am

A Rubin Stein, just saw this. There is a spot, and I will add you. That said, your wine does not fit the theme -- is it possible for you to change it? I'm happy to try another wine, but would be proper to stay with the theme if possible.

#43 Post by **Sh@n A** » December 5th, 2018, 6:03 am

I will make the reservation at Sutton Inn today; if there is an issue I will venue shift to Bobby Vans on 54th (close to Sutton Inn).

Dinesh Goyal · #44 Post by **Dinesh Goyal** » December 5th, 2018, 4:19 pm

Hi, two updates at my end

I will be bringing 2005 Louis Jadot Chapelle Chambertin.

Also unfortunately my friend had to cancel his Sydney to NY trip and can’t make it any longer. So it will just be me.

#45 Post by **Sh@n A** » December 6th, 2018, 9:57 am

Sutton Inn ended up closing for a private event, and I did not catch this earlier. Bobby Vans got bought out as well. Looking for a back up space.

#46 Post by **Sh@n A** » December 6th, 2018, 11:06 am

PMs set for two new options.

#47 Post by **Greg K** » December 6th, 2018, 11:29 am

I’d prefer Quality Italian. I’ve done byob there before and it was fine. Preference is partially based on the more central location.

#48 Post by **Sh@n A** » December 6th, 2018, 2:53 pm

As it turns out, Quality Italian is booked. I'm securing Little Frog.

#49 Post by **Sh@n A** » December 6th, 2018, 2:55 pm

Can you please note what wine you will bring.

#50 Post by **Gary Zimberg** » December 6th, 2018, 3:45 pm

Unfortunately a work thing has come up and I have to attend a Clients Holiday Party... sorry. Hope you reschedule the 1er dinner for January. Looks like a much slower month.

Best,

Gary
