OK, time to kick off the second half of the year - @Ian_Alper and I figured we’d try for Cavalletta on a Sunday afternoon again. Can you make July 27th, 5:00pm? All are welcome!

Unfortunately I won’t be able to make this. Looking forward to the next one!
I am up for it. Have a few different sparklers.
Can’t make anythung until second week of August
Just found out about this group. Am I in the right place to stay up to date?
Hi Jeffrey, we post one thread per dinner in the Event Planner forum, so yes 
Are you interested in this particular one, or the series in general? If the former, I’ll put you on the waitlist.
Interested in both! Thank you for getting back to me.
@JKMoore, you’re in for this Sunday. Ken was able to update the reservation to 14. We’ll draw the line there, any additional sign ups are going to be wait list only.
Taken before Ken optimized the order, but you’ll get the idea
Good to see everyone, was nice to have a Sunday afternoon get together again. 2012 Lichen was a positive surprise, a hint of age on the nose, and so bright and fresh on the palate. Two side by side treats were my favorites, 2001 Chateau Montelena vs. 2000 BV Georges De Latour, and 2005 Patricia Green Ribbon Ridge vs. 2005 Au Bon Climat Los Alamos.
It was a pleasurable evening again. Loved the ABC and really enjoyed the BV vs Montelena. Driving home though, my head kept going back to the Amarone as it was my first taste of one. I wish I had gotten to it earlier in the evening. Don’t need to go deep but I will have to dip a toe to get a better feel. Love getting a window into ares of wine that I just wouldn’t get on my own. Thanx all!
Great to see everyone agan. Jeffrey glad you could make it! Love how it often works out without a theme. Patricia Green was the “nose of the night” and really enjoyable. Fun to try to the older classic Caifornia Cabs. I brought the Montelena and should have double decanted it before the show. Ken opened up the BV several hours earlier and double decanted and I think that made it much more accessible. No duds. I need to do a better job coming up with a more disciplined tasting order. Until next time!
I finally logged in to Wineberserkers and found this thread. Is this the place to see updates and new, upcoming wine dinners and events?
Thanks!
Laurie
We usually just contact you directly but this is a good place to check in. Also some events are not included here.
Ian
Sounds good Ian! Direct contact is best.
Thanks,
Laurie
