Just wanted to check if there would be any interest in doing a Bordeaux tasting in NYC.
I was thinking the theme could be 2009 vintage but open to any other ideas.
Right now just checking if at least 3-4 people would be interested. If there is an interest in the general concept, we can start figuring out the details (theme, venue, date etc).

I and my wife could be interested. We don’t really have much on the Bordeaux end though. Only the sweet stuff, and mostly splits of Chateau Guiraud, Lafaurie-Peyraguey, Chateau Suduiraut, La Tour Blanche, but we do have multiples of each.
I definitely enjoy Noreetuh. I’ll get back to you about the dates, a few seem promising.
As for 2009, are you wanting everyone to double decant a head of time? Or is your goal to see how the wines evolve throughout the night, pulling the cork at the restaurant?
I am going to double decant mine. Don’t want to be prescriptive. My personal opinion is that 2009 vintage is still young and double decanting would help.
