Unfort, Iām out of town then, but have been. Nice spot.
This is Andre Mackās place. Went for a dinner with Kurt Zalto. Decor is great. Food was tasty and appreciate what heās trying to do with domestic high-end ham production. Andre tries to highlight good domestic stuff (we had some wonderful cali pinot and Ultramarine) so makes sense those things on the menu were well priced.
@Dan_Kravitz I can pull this off if it is still happening. My wife might make it too. Let me know which day.

Hi Joe,
I think weāre a go. Iām a little surprised and disappointed not to get more takers, but I guess most Berserkers are looking to bring wine, not buy it at a restaurant.
Iām penciling in Thursday, but Wednesday still works for me. Iāll be with my Friend Eileen. Great if your wife can come.
Hoping some other board members will chime in. Iām a Ham Guy, have had three of the ones on offer and they are terrific. And the list is really reasonable for people who like wine with bottle age.
Anybody else? Any preference for Wednesday or Thursday?
Thanks.

Hi Joe,
Well, I guess itās four of us. If this still works for you, Iāll call them and book for Thursday January 4th at 6PM. Please have a look at the wine list and tell me what you find of most interest. Thereās a lot of stuff under $100, plenty under $200, I probably wouldnāt want to go much higher. Iām open as to what types we drink, I think thereās some good values in the Bordeaux blends, but Iām open to Cab, Merlot, Zin or even Pinot.
Please let me know. I appreciate it and look forward to meeting.
Best,
Dan
@Dan_Kravitz Sounds great. We are in for the 4th!
Our domestic wine knowledge is limited. These few below caught my attention, but we will mostly defer to you on this. We drink mostly red, but Julie would love a sparkling if you know anything good and affordable on the list. I like aged zin, and if you have some things that you think will be good that are less expensive than the wines below, the less expensive the better!
1986 Markham Cab - $135
2007 DeLillie Cellars Proprietary Red āD2ā Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot - $160
1999 Ravenswood āPickberry Vineyardā Red Bordeaux Blend - $160
Any of the older Ken Wright
Joe,
All of your suggestions are right in my wheelhouse, Iād already noted the DeLille.
Iām hoping somebody else will chime in, Iāll give this a few more days, then book a table for 4. There are definitely some killer Zins at a better price point. Iāll suggest one after some study. As far as bubbles, the 2012 Argyle Chardonnay has the right age and is priced right. My Friend Eileen is a hard-core red drinker, but could be talked into a glass of sparkling Rose. Rhys has made great Pinot Noir from Alder Springs and Iāll bet the āUnder the Wireā Rose would be excellent.
See you soon.
>>>OTHER BOARD MEMBERS, PLEASE JOIN US!!!<<<

& Sons takes reservations two weeks in advance. Iāll book for 4 next Thursday unless other people chime in.
For Zinfandel, theyāve got Monte Rosso, a really great old vine vineyard. '99 Louis Martini is $95, '97 Villa Mount Eden is $75.

Iāve booked the table for 4, 6PM. We can probably still accommodate other folks, please post or PM if interested.
Phil, I donāt drink much dessert wine any more, just looked at the list and youāre right, thereās a lot of cool stuff. The only Port-style half bottle with any age is a Pinot Noir from Oregon?!? If weād gotten more people, I could be in for something.
