Not sure yet for me. Michael took a look at my cellar suggested a few. Will probably pick from this list depending on theme. However, if others have thoughts happy to oblige.
I can also pull from the locker if needed–but a substantial portion of my collection is offsite. This mostly affects bdx but I’ll have to fetch the Rousseau’s ahead of time if we go that route.

I also have some non-Rousseau CSJ’s.
Riche only have some very young wines from HN and AGros.
I’ll also throw out a '02 Perrot-Minot La Richemone – supposedly the oldest vines in CdN, howeer doens’t seem to fit any theme above.
Well I think it would be fun to do the flight of 17 Rousseau if you wanted to bring the ruchottes. I think the confuron rsv flight would be fun too, I could also bring a 17 if you wanted to bring the 10 and 14.
'17 Rousseau horizontal sounds fun.
I’m open to the JJ Confuron’s. Could also do '14 RSV’s with HN
And I have some JJC Vougeot’s as well if you wanted to broaden things with one producer.
I don’t think you need to bring anymore wine. Already a very generous list. We can step it up.
I think doing the 13 reignots as a single horizontal is good; it seems like most of the flights we’re doing are 2 wines except the 17 Rousseau. If someone wants to bring a 17 Rousseau Chambertin that’d be fun
Yes, my advice is keep that 2019 on hold for many, many years
If we stay at 10-12 glasses, I think taking our time with flights of 2 is very manageable and can yield great discussions. Particularly with wines of this quality. And I think 2013s are great to examine at this point in time, so it’s a wonderful thought from @A.Z.Sullivan
If we do end up doing an RSV pairing, I thought the '10 Confuron was showing elegantly 15 months ago.
Who do we think will be able to join Michael, Eileen, and me for Saturday evening dinner with wine leftovers?
I’m going to call and make a reservation this week. In theory I can probably just make on for 6 & shorten it last minute if needed, but if it’s more than 6 we should give restaurant a heads-up .
I’m going to say i’m a “maybe”. Really depends on what my wife does for lunch as she’s unlikely to want to do wine “all day”. I’m fine doing that all day, however
I think that was the plan but idk what Nick has in mind.
Anything is possible but my experience is while not everyone may not want to spend many hours drinking wine with me, the vast majority of people do want to spend more time with Eileen Chang haha. She’s a very fun person to have at wine events.
I just want to have space at Max’s main restaurant. How much wine is drunk, whether people come for 90 minutes & then leave to go home, et al. Completely fine.
I’m not one to stand on ceremony, but just trying to think about how to ensure we don’t surprise a popular restaurant on a Saturday night for a large request.
Honestly, if you’re drinking good things & taking your time: the hours kind of fly by :). 1pm-10pm Paulee days in NY flow pretty well if you know how to stay on rhythm & hydrate well.
