Bordeaux Wine Enthusiasts

Jay Winton

Well, I see David posted all my possibilities. I'm happy to bring all four but that might be overkill so how about 2? 88 LaLagune and 89 Calon Segur?

Jay Winton

Post them here! All checks have been received. Thanks everyone

Jay Winton

Ok, here are some proposed menu items: Again, if you have allergies, etc to any of these please call Dean directly at 202-686-2966 and he will plan a menu to your tastes . What's listed is a mix of what we've enjoyed at Dino, Dean's recs, and BWE requests. More to come, but you will get an idea of w...

Thanks,

stefan

The room is ours for the evening so we can start anytime. I was thinking 630ish but again anytime is ok.

Jay Winton

One more item: For those of you that have potential food allergies, dislikes, etc., please call Dean directly at 202-686-2966. He will be more than happy to ensure you have a meal suited to your tastes. I am firming up the menu as I post.

Jay Winton

BTW, I can take a paypal payment-just add the fee-4 or 5% I think. send it to jokerj_2000 at yahoo dot com

I'm assuming the Friday night dinner is casual attire?

clothes are recommended. beyond that, anything goes.

Jay Winton

Without checking in the dungeon, I can offer an 88 and an 89 LaLagune. Also know I have 89 Calon Segur and L'arrossee

Jay Winton

We finished off my father's case of the 85LL a few years ago. Good to know it's still drinking well.

Jay Winton

I should ask if anyone has dietary, allergy etc. restrictions? I have one request for a modified dinner so want to make sure everyone is comfortable with choices. We will be served family style so I think it will be easy to avoid any foods you can't or don't eat.

Jay Winton

I'll send an email to everyone with my address probably tomorrow. Cost is $90pp inclusive of tax and gratuity. I'll work out the menu details as well next week with Dean and post a sample menu here.

Comments gang?

Jay Winton

Hey moe! We've been missing the west coast bunch

Jay Winton

any thoughts on drinkability of a mag of the 95?

Jay Winton

I've been eyeing my several bottles of 96 LF lately so this is timely. Last bottle a couple of years ago said "wait for a while". did you decant?

Jay Winton

Ok, cousin Alex is a possibility so we can take 1 more and keep the private room which is my preference. Michael of the desert-are you planning to attend? I'll give it another week or so and call for checks.

Jay Winton

WE are now at the limit for the private room. If more people want to attend, we will have to move to a semi private space. Dean has been kind enough to waive any kind of deposit and asks only that I give him a credit card as a space holder which I will do this week. Given this courtesy, I am conside...

Nic is in! so we have:

18 BWEs and 1 future BWE

Jay Winton

Hi Jay, there is a small/good chance that my brother Alex, could come with me in DC. If so, I hope there will be one place. He is rushing to get his passport. If he can get it in time, he should be there. Nic Are you planning to come to the dinner Friday? That's fine and, of course Alex is welcome....

Jay Winton

Great Howard!! While the room can hold 20 I propose we close the list to give us a bit more room. Ok? Chris' plan sounds good to me

Chris Bublitz

that's what I thought but those darn Burg people keep trying to change the theme. Seriously, I think Dino's cuisine would be best matched to Rhones and Italians but I am merely the organizer.

Jay Winton

Giradin makes generally excellent and competitively (for the region) priced red burgs, IMVHO. I had a wine one of his 1er (?) cru from Santenay a few months ago that was outstanding.

Jay Winton

very difficult to watch the news this evening

The guest we bring is our 15 month daughter who I don't think could eat a 5 course meal yet. So there should be still 3 seats open.

Werner

Let me know if she needs anything special for the dinner.

Jay Winton

JimHow wrote:Sounds good to me Jay, thanks. Does he understand we drink about three bottles per person?

there will be no consumption issues

Jay Winton

Ok. Here are the particulars: We can get the private room for up to 20 people at a total cost of $1800 inclusive of tax, tip, and corkage. Dean will prepare a 5 course meal (I'll throw out some of his ideas as well as what we've enjoyed on our visits) served family style that will complement our win...

Jay Winton

calling Dean this evening.

Jay Winton

try the 05 prignac-medoc. $9 in DC. Who says inexpensive Bordeaux doesn't drink well? not moi Better with food though

Jay Winton

I was offered 05 Barde Haute for $25 if you buy a case today via a "private" email from a major retailer. anyone tried this?

Jay Winton

can't make this but I highly recommend BlackSalt-one of my favorite restaurants in the area.

Jay Winton

also WOW!

Jay Winton

The 05 Prignac for $9 we tried last night was pretty darn good and a real QPR. I'm glad I bought a case.

Jay Winton

There will be cheese.

stefan wrote:Is it an Italian restaurant, Jay? Then maybe we should have Italian wines.

stefan

yes. http://www.dino-dc.com

Jay Winton

Wine theme. I've been pondering this. You know me, I usually say bring something good. I would exclude Bordeaux as we will be doing that Saturday. Ok. burgs but maybe some more mature ones?, how about a few CNDPs? Also, Dino has an outstanding and I mean OUTSTANDING Italian list and it's fairly pric...

Jay Winton

My 05 Cambon le Pelouse has also improved quite a bit since I received them a few months ago.

Jay Winton

I've tried a couple vintages and consider this good QPR CNDP-a little light as Stefan notes but quaffable so a Good rating . I think I paid under $20 for the 05.
