Who is up for sharing some wine? We'll be staying mid-town/ Times Square. I'm not planning on getting a car, but we could get around pretty easy I'm sure. What day works best? It's a Wed and Thurs.

i'm in. are you on "tour"(here on wine business)? you wanna lecture at where i store my wine at, like loring did? it was a smashing success!

I'd love to make a dinner here, but we're returning from a 3 week vacation on August 6. I'm going to be swamped when I return. The 8th is my wife's birthday, but I might be able to make it into the city on the 9th.

It's more a perfect triple storm:

Otis's party on the 11th in Chicago, and Stef's best friend wanting us to visit DC on the 5th. Left 3 days in the middle. To which Stef said, "Let's go see tbird and meet this Board-O dude."

Looks open to me!!! It'd be great to meet you and Stef!!!

Thursday would be great (as I could take Friday off, so there'd be no need to rush the evening). However, Wednesday is also free, so it's up to you guys.

Same here. Sounds fun.

Wednesday or Thursday is good for me too.

I am game as well.

Count me in as well....

The 9th then, Thursday night seems best. Suggestions for a local?

If we don't bring a wine on their list, Smith and Wollensky has $0 corkage. The only trouble is location... 49th and 3rd (I believe).

Tbird likes Quality Meats... I think. And I believe Ouest in the Upper West Side has reasonable corkage and good food.

Wine, steak, NY hmmmmm I'll bring a 1st growth that I can almost sure wont be on the list due to vintage :-)

I know it won't be on their list... as their list is 100% American!!!

Also, check this out clicky

Cool. Thursday is a great night to offline. Low crowds and I don't mind being a little off on a Friday

For Steak and 0 corkage - that's no trouble for me! I've been to Ouest - very good too. I had the best cream of Mushroom soup I ever had there. Ouest isn't THAT big for a large group from what I remember and it does get a good mid week crowd. We went on a Wednesday I think.

Hard to argue Steak and Offlines - but you guys decide or Tlily, since this is in his honor

And don't let T-Bird vote. I think he turned Veg in 2007.

Details almost worked out. Will hopefully post by the end of the day.

Definitely don't count me in for reservation purposes - If I have to come to NY for business, it will likely be on relatively short notice -

Here are the details...

Date: Thursday, August 9
Time: 6:30PM
Location: Smith and Wollensky
Corkage: $0. (But we can't bring a bottle on their wine list; I can get a copy of that later).

Confirmed
