Fairfield County, CT / Westchester County, NY

I know this thread is super old – but I am pretty new to Fairfield county and would like to connect in with the local wine crowd. Please let me know if there are any good events going on. I live in Weston, CT.

You can see from this threat what an active community it is. [snort.gif]

We never seem to be able to get anything going in Ct. [head-bang.gif]

Are you threatening us?!?!? neener

OMFG I made a typo!

I need some tp for my … No, wait, change it, dumbass!

Oh, this isn’t Beavis & Butthead?

Crabtree’s Kittle House in Chappaqua has free corkage on Mondays. Just went there last night.

Welcome to the neighborhood.

Nicholas Roberts in Norwalk has $5 corkage and is very good, though not much in the way of atmosphere. I’ve heard good things about Cafe Basso which is no corkage, but haven’t been.

Sadly wine lists around here are generally pretty uninteresting - annoying distribution laws means it’s tough to find anything beyond recent vintages of relatively widely-available wines.

Not to drift into corkage issues (there’s an entire thread on that in the BYO forum), but if there’s one place I would not bring wine to, it would be Kittle House.

In theory, I agree. But when with a group, sometimes budget trumps the desire to delve into the Kittle House’s massive cellar.

Tell you what Joe, why don’t we plan for a Monday night dinner at Kittle house sometime in September?

There it is, the first official offline plan birthed from this sorry as “threat”. neener

September 12th looks like the best bet for me. If that works for you, start a new thread and let’s get things moving.

Deal!

ack I will be in Florida on vacation otherwise, I would be there.
