While I have been a member for a little under a year, I just found forums, etc. Was hoping to get some info on NY (Long Island) events. I am mainly in to Cali cabs but I drink from Italy, France and recently New Zealand as well on occasion. I had a wine night at my house and would be more than willing to host another one (or ten) in the near future.
So does anyone have the 411 another wine gatherings on the Island by chance?

Hi,
we have a long island wine group on ebob that meets on a regular basis.Let me know if your interested.We will probably have another one in September

Dave, the best thing to do is to propose something (an idea, a date and a place if possible) on here and other boards or like Cindy said - keep your eyes open for planned events. Summers are a little slower, since people are busy with other obligations and vacations etc.

There may be small groups elsewhere, but the quality of the wines and the people are excellent at our get togthers for sure.

Would love to find something in NYC in mid/late august. Never organized one.

I live on Long Island as well, please include me on your list
