12th and 19th are good for me.

AndyK · #3 Post by **AndyK** » August 2nd, 2019, 5:02 am

26 should work, 19 is a maybe

ERPark · #4 Post by **ERPark** » August 2nd, 2019, 7:33 am

Been awhile since we did Yuzu. Would bring other days of the week besides Monday into play. Thoughts?

Larry Stein · #5 Post by **Larry Stein** » August 2nd, 2019, 6:07 pm

The later in the month, the better for me. I’d be down with Yuzu.

19th please

19th works for me

dteng · #9 Post by **dteng** » August 4th, 2019, 8:46 pm

I’m good for either 19 or 26.

Didn’t we talk about Terun in Palo Alto?

dteng · #10 Post by **dteng** » August 4th, 2019, 8:46 pm

Gene, what’s the capacity for Yuzu?

Please avoid Sept. 16 for the Sept. dinner, thanks. I'm tentatively doing the Rhys dinner Sept. 17.

ERPark · #12 Post by **ERPark** » August 4th, 2019, 8:55 pm

I’d say 16 or thereabouts is the capacity. I could check if we fill up pretty quickly.

Bear in mind Yuzu would be a non-Monday......

dteng · #13 Post by **dteng** » August 4th, 2019, 9:43 pm

Ooo yah dang

So if we do Yuzu, are we looking at Tues on August 20?
Also, what would the cost be?

ATaylor · #15 Post by **ATaylor** » August 5th, 2019, 3:36 pm

I also had the owner of Sapore offer us the upstairs.

20th makes sense to me. Past excursions to Yuzu have been prix fixe menu of $80 total per person, which includes tax and service charge.

Larry Stein · #17 Post by **Larry Stein** » August 5th, 2019, 5:58 pm

20th is now better for me, too.

AndyK · #18 Post by **AndyK** » August 7th, 2019, 7:41 am

20th should work

#19 Post by **robert creth** » August 7th, 2019, 5:59 pm

I’m in for the 20th

Andrea V. · #20 Post by **Andrea V.** » August 7th, 2019, 7:50 pm

I’m in for the 20th as well

dteng · #21 Post by **dteng** » August 8th, 2019, 2:51 pm

Ok I updated and started a list.
You guys in? George, Wes, Sean, Andrew

Gene, can you call to arrange?
(As an aside, any chance of arranging sides for me if there are shrimp/crab/lobster dishes?)

#22 Post by **George Chadwick** » August 8th, 2019, 5:03 pm

I'm probable. Tuesdays are great. Liz probable.

#23 Post by **Wes Barton** » August 8th, 2019, 6:11 pm

Yes, in.

dteng · #24 Post by **dteng** » August 8th, 2019, 7:20 pm

Ok updated - lemme know when Liz is def.

Andrea V. · #25 Post by **Andrea V.** » August 8th, 2019, 7:23 pm

Great group! So... what are we drinking?

#26 Post by **robert creth** » August 9th, 2019, 6:58 pm

I have no experience with wine and sushi. I generally go beer, so any advice.

Larry Stein · #27 Post by **Larry Stein** » August 9th, 2019, 7:01 pm

Whites with acidity. Loire Chenin Blanc, Chablis, Austrian and German Riesling, Champagne, Sake.

ERPark · #28 Post by **ERPark** » August 9th, 2019, 8:30 pm

No sake, please. The owner of Yuzu has a side business exporting/importing wines into Japan. They have a good-sized list of sake, so let’s focus on wine, please.

I’ll reach out to the owner and confirm here shortly that the private room will be available to us on the 20th. Will also advise the owner that Doc Dan would like some individual portion sized alternatives to the shellfish options prepared for the group.

And just a reminder to please bring cash. It’s our way of saying thanks to the establishments that waive corkage and, in Yuzu’s case, provide us our own private room and dedicated server when we dine there.

ERPark · #29 Post by **ERPark** » August 9th, 2019, 8:37 pm

There’s usually a grilled organic Jidori chicken as one of the apps, so some red burg could also be in play. Plus, the chef/proprietor is always provided pours, and he has a varied palate like any good WBer would have.......

#30 Post by **George Chadwick** » August 10th, 2019, 6:17 pm

I wrote a response earlier that red burg goes with all the food for me but deleted it because it might be wrong for others. Oaky reds do not match.

ERPark · #31 Post by **ERPark** » August 11th, 2019, 4:32 pm

OK, you gals and guys are confirmed for Yuzu on Tuesday, Aug 20th at 6:30PM. Unfortunately, I’ve been scheduled to be out of town that day, but will stay in contact with the owner to finalize final headcount of WBers attending. Please take me off the attendee list........

#32 Post by **Craig G** » August 11th, 2019, 5:19 pm

I’ll take Gene’s spot if it’s available. I didn’t think I could make it that day but my other thing fell through.

ERPark · #33 Post by **ERPark** » August 11th, 2019, 8:03 pm

You should be good, Craig. Can probably get 16 folks in there without feeling crowded.

#34 Post by **Craig G** » August 11th, 2019, 10:57 pm

Dan, if you want to do the 88 Cortons, I have mine standing up.

I think I can make it. Room for one more?

#44 Post by **George Chadwick** » August 15th, 2019, 7:49 am

I'm out, unexpected obligations this weekend eating up too much of my time.

dteng · #45 Post by **dteng** » August 15th, 2019, 6:29 pm

Ok, George out, Daniel in.

ERPark · #46 Post by **ERPark** » August 16th, 2019, 9:52 am

I need to provide the owner the number of attendees there will be. Please note that if you have indicated you are attending, then cancel the day of, the restaurant will still charge the group for your place. It’s their policy when doing a prix-fixe menu in their private space.

Doc Dan, I’ll let the chef/proprietor know that you’ll like some alternatives where any shellfish is part of the prix-fixe.

Larry Stein · #47 Post by **Larry Stein** » August 16th, 2019, 10:19 am
