I don’t mind - have never been. FWIW I’m ok with paying corkage, but any chance we can get them to agree to a straight $40 per person and we’ll just bring as many as we want? If we handle all the opening and pouring and maybe bring our own stems, I don’t see how that could be objectionable
This looks awesome. I am based in the Mission and quicky building out my cellar and looking for events like this but unfortunately cannot make it. Would love to attend the next get together.
Returning to the question of theme for a moment; I think we’re agreed on Old World but would like to see if we’re leaning towards any specific region - Burgundy, Bordeaux, Rhone, etc
I’m pretty open, but my preference would be to not have Bordeaux as a theme. I don’t dislike the wines and I’m okay with a few bottles, but would just prefer not to have everything be Bordeaux…
I’m open but my preference would be to have a mix. I had imagined starting lighter with White Burgs + Chablis, then on to Red Burgundy, and finishing with Bordeaux and Rhone. Something like that.
Still working on corkage (as of now its 40 per bottle but trying to get flat 40 per person). For white, I’ve got a mag of 02 Marc Colin Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Caillerets I could bring that may be fun.
@Mike not a clue, but willing to take the risk! Haha
Ok, I’ve worked out a deal on corkage. We can bring as much as we’d like for a flat fee of $400 ($44 per person with 9 people). We’ll also need to handle the opening and pouring as Yao suggested. I’d recommend we bring glassware as well.
They were a bit concerned that with a “unlimited” amount of wine that we would be a bit loud so I assured them that we would be respectful of the other guests.
