Here are the dates I can do… I realize they aren’t great choices.
Dec 4, 11, 12, 18, 20, 21, 27, 28
Jan 2, 3, 9, 11
Seems like the 18th is going to be the best date so will go with that!
Sorry for the folks who can’t do this one. We were all over the map here (and some wine friends not on board). 18th gives some flex and also think it’s less likely to book up as month goes along (where as the weekends in Dec get crazy).
So looking forward.
Please confirm your attendance and bottles so I can get headcount for food and stems.
Same as last time, will dm location once people are confirmed.
Sounds great.
As above I can do 08 Dom rose, 08 Peters Chetillon, or 08 Ledru.
Pretty sure the ‘76 is going to be poured down the drain but the other should be singing. And what bubbles event would be complete without a Prosecco? This one happens to be an elevated version though….
OOF. I’m in for the 18th of December , with the “baby krug” (N.V. Billecart-Salmon Brut Sous Bois) to PeterB’s grown up krug. I may bring a weird pet nat-oid thing too…just because.
As a reminder, the Port tasting is on the 19th of December in Astoria…
…So perhaps on the 20th, we can get a bulk discount on some liver transplants at sinai?
Unfortunately my wife was told by her work that she needs to go to Chicago from the 17th to the 19th Leaves me on daddy duty. Truly sorry to miss this.
If the date happens to change, I’ll try again.
Unfortunately I won’t be able to make this date and will be out of town after the 8th… have fun!
@Ethan_A - Awesome. Dealer’s choice!
@PeterB - One way to find out! You’re supposed to keep the prosecco a surprise!
@phil.lukeman - Phil, if you don’t bring one strangely peculiar, but somehow still good pet-nat thing I will assume you’ve been body snatched.
@Jorge_Henriquez - All good, happens ![]()
@Stephen_Chen - next time! Safe travels for the holidays!
Or, to play it the other way, White burgundy brunch the morning of the 19th?
I’m in for this (and the Port night, and the liver transplant…)!
Probably going to bring 2012 Heidsieck Brut Millesime.
Adjusted list. We picked new one and lost 3 (one schedule change and one house repair)
Not full so jump in if you’re able ![]()
imitation is the sincerest form of fattery fattery chicken thighs
And in a full circle of imitation, I will bring an '08 Piper-Heidsieck Rare. Wine-ception?
Also, Gavin - is there a room for a +1 still? Have a friend who would like to participate and has an '06 Cristal to contribute.
Wine-ception! Wine matrix. Wine truman show. turtles all the way down.
Totally. Since I’m not cooking this time, we’ve got plenty of room. Updated.
by the way… we sabering any of these bottles?
…I had not planned on it. But we do have the deck…
Is there room for one more? Can bring 2006 Taittinger Comtes. Ethan can vouch for me.
Welcome aboard ![]()
My partner and I would love to join if it’s not too late! We’d bring the following:
Ployez Jacquemart Blanc de Blanc Extra Brut 2010
Chavost Blanc de Meunier Brut Nature 2021
