Re: ***Friday night convention dinner-March 30th
I agree with Tom, why don't we just stick with our original plan of 20 in the private room at Dino.

Re: ***Friday night convention dinner-March 30th
Ok. Dean, if you're still checking, please go ahead with menu ideas for 20 in the private room.
Re: ***Friday night convention dinner-March 30th
Hopefully we can come up with a "+/- $100 per" accommodation. Dean won't want to leave the private room unoccupied, right? )))

Re: ***Friday night convention dinner-March 30th
That's been proposed and the menu I posted reflects those choices but bring any full bodied red you possess. Also, Dean has a great, fairly priced Italian (and other regions) list if you want to order a bottle instead.Michael-P wrote:Is the theme still Italian AND Rhone?

Re: ***Friday night convention dinner-March 30th
My check was mailed yesterday, thanks for all the hard work, Mr. Vino.
Re: ***Friday night convention dinner-March 30th
Our check is in the mail too, mr. vino!
We're in for an Italian theme, but could certainly work with a Rhone one.
If I recall correctly, there are two big tables in Dino's private room. How about if we poll for a theme between Rhone and Italian? If interest is about balanced, we could have two tables, each with a theme? Gail and I could "host" the Italian table to coordinate wines, etc.

Re: ***Friday night convention dinner-March 30th
Check's going in tomorrow's mail, Jay. Thank you for your efforts, this should be a lot of fun!
Tom, as much as I like 'ya, I'm bringing a Rhone. If that means I'm relegated to the kiddie table, so be it.

Re: ***Friday night convention dinner-March 30th
Do they sell Italian wines anywhere else besides supermarkets?

Please don't insult my 50% heritage!
You may not know it, but many Italian wines come with the bottles wrapped in pretty staw baskets and these have been very good candlestick holders after using the wine for cooking or on salad.

Mr Vino:
I need your instructions on what to bring: Italian or Rhone?
I have already shipped my wines for the weekend from San Francisco to DC and don't have access to my cellar there for anything else. I only have 2 bottles (respectable) of each Italian and Rhone here in Dubai that I can bring.
Kiddie table or adults? Thanks.

Either will work. But if you want an answer, bring the Rhone.Michael-P wrote:Mr Vino:

As for tables, I'm not sure segregating the regions is preferable but we could make each table half and half. Of course, we will be close to one another so sharing bottles won't be a problem.
Re: ***Friday night convention dinner-March 30th
Bring the Italian!
Re: ***Friday night convention dinner-March 30th
Hi:
Susan and I are also planning to dine at Dino's.
But close friends are taking the time to drive down and meet us Friday.
We've not seen each other in a while and there wasn't room to include our friends.
So we released our slots (which were filled from the wait list) and will be booking a private table and ordering from the menu.
And we will be drinking some great Barolos as my buddy believes Burgundy rules and there is no great Barolo.

Re: ***Friday night convention dinner-March 30th
I'm sure we can squeeze you guys in!
Re: ***Friday night convention dinner-March 30th
We've discussed options with Jay.
And this will work fine.
We can get a table near.
And we'll be busy catching up.
Now my freind is Alan Marshok.
He was a part of owner Rochambeau and then Post wine.
He is currently working for a small firm importing Burgundy.
He is a "gem" of a guy and his wife Donna is a "doll".
A great person to get to know and has been ITB for many many years.
Great palate, great stories from an insider and wonderful personality.
We can mingle but I'm fine with the arrangement and hope to get in on "no corkage".

Re: ***Friday night convention dinner-March 30th
I still think that's bullshit that we can't fit three extra people in the room but that's just my opinion.
Re: ***Friday night convention dinner-March 30th
I'm fine with it.
And Jay has done a wonderful job lining up a venue.
I just wanted to explain if y'all saw us what was up.
And I really have wanted Alan to meet this group for a long time.
And the last time the four of us dined in DC it was at Citronelle so we are getting off easy.
So nothing to get all worked up about.

Jay has done a great job, and I'm not "getting all worked up about it." I just think it is bullshit that a guy we have given thousands of dollars of repeat business to can't help us out in accomodating a couple extra friends we see once every several years or so.
Re: ***Friday night convention dinner-March 30th
Understood.
And I wasn't implying you.
Just in general.
Plus I don't want to share any Scavino/Clerico/Sandrone. HAHAHAHAHA
But then you know me I always share.

Re: ***Friday night convention dinner-March 30th
Jon and Paula Northway will be joining us. I had a lengthy email exchange with the Daytons-they are fine with all of this as they wanted to catch up with their friends. 20 people in the private room is its limit. I plan a trip to dino to check out the space before the dinner so I think it will all work out.

But these are also good.
Re: ***Friday night convention dinner-March 30th
I agree that both camps can be good -- I was just sorta wondering if these producers are the ones to convince a diehard burg-o-phile.

Again, if anyone wants to review the excel sheet which outlines our options, send me your email via pm and I will attach it. I have steered away from meat in general as we will be at CPs Saturday.

Re: ***Friday night convention dinner-March 30th
Ok, I just deposited all the checks from those who were able to pay in advance-thanks for your promptness. Now, onto the important things: what wines are people bringing? Theme is loosely Rhones and Italians but if anyone wants to throw in a ringer-throw away! DavidG and I plan to bring some NV champagne to kick things off. Should we have some whites as well?

Re: ***Friday night convention dinner-March 30th
We'll bring two Sangiovese, two Nebbiolo, and probably two "others" (Super Tuscan, Veneto, Southern, hmmmm...)
