#3

is this for friday or saturday?

#4

Preferably Friday, so that I can take my parents to NoMi on Saturday for some 1989 and 1990 LMHB and 1927 Madeira. Thanks.

#5

I’d prefer to go to the one at NoMi

#6

I would have to clean you first, with a Chinese feather duster.

#7

for 89/90 LMHB, i am willing [wow.gif]

Has anyone been here?

George H. presented this as an alternative with better food perhaps. I still need to check on its corkage policy.
Thanks.

#9

I’m interested

Perennial is good. They brought in a new chef a few months ago and the reviews have been great. I believe it made the Bib Gourmand list. The Tribune actually wrote it up about a week ago: C'est la Vie? – Chicago Tribune

I am not sure the corkage policy there. But, I am sure they would work something out.

#11

Perennial is very good indeed!

#12

Perennial Virant limits corkage to two bottles TOTAL per table. Oh, well……
So, at this point, Bin 36 should be our fallback, pending other suggestions. Thanks.

#13

I’m interested.

#14

That is true for the Boka Group restaurants…but they have been know to bend this rule…I don’t have any pull at this place, but others might. Would be a big food upgrade from Bin 36.

#15

I will put a call in at Perennial and see if I can get them to waive the 2 bottle max.

#16

Thanks.
If we are allowed approximately one bottle per person, even at a reasonable corkage fee, that would be great.
Regardless if this works or not, let me know if you wish to join.

#17

Talked to Perennial. They actually do not have space for a group of 10 on December 9. They said they would call me if anyone cancels and would likely be able to work something out with respect to the wine. So I will let you know if I hear back. For now, however, probably should find another place.

#18

Thanks for being so helpful.
Regardless if this works or not, let me know if you wish to join.

#19

I am definitely interested. I just have to wait and see on some work issues before I can commit. If I am free then I would like to participate.

#20

I will ask Bin 36 if our group can be bumped to nine persons, as the reservation is currentlly for eight persons.
