1982 Bordeaux Retrospective NYC Wed Aug 1st

[Mike Reff]

Figured I would throw out an event to celebrate the 30 years of the infamous 1982 vintage from Bordeaux. Any interest for an offline sometime in 2012 in either Westchester or NYC??

Thanks for the idea Mike, I just sent out an email to my tasting group that when it's my turn in 2012 we're doing 82 bdx's.

BTW, if you do this in June count me in.

[salilb]

Yup.

[Victor Hong]

Yes, I would be interested, and have some Leoville Poyferre.

[Michael Lewis]

I'd be interested. Prefer NYC to Westchester.

[Justin.Sanderson]

Very interested. Will need to buy a bottle to participate.

[SteveC]

I'd join. I have a few bottles.

[Mike Reff]

cool glad there is some interest... NYC can be accomodated. And Saxon we can hope to accomodate, but NYC in June...that might work,

[David Cohen]

count me in!

[jordan whitehead]

Am interested depending on date. May be a good time for a return to NY.

[Mike Reff]

How do people think about various flights based on region??? I figure we also cap it off at a certain number as well. We have done dinners similar to these and the cap has been around 11 or 12 people. There is plenty of wine to go around. I just do not want to turn this into a complete beserkerfest, unless of course, the masses want it to be...

[Brent C l a y t o n (Online)]

I'm interested if my uncle can supply the bottles!

12 is max I would think

I do not see why that would be an issue, let me plant it in his brain.

[Dan Rosenheck]

If I'm in town I'd be glad to join.

[SteveC]

I checked my '82s, I have the following:

Canon
Montrose
Leyville Poyferre (the only one for wgich I have multiple bottles left)

I would love to participate!

LP sounds good. I have gruaud if I actually make this thing

[L e o F r o k i c]

keep me in loop

[Steve Saxon]

Lots of people interested, you can probably do multiple events.

[Mike Reff]

we might be able to do more than one table, it all depends on the venue as well. I can organize, and we can keep it like a berzerkerfest, but not that large with people.

[vwsmaltz (Online)]

I would be interested as well... I'd have to buy something too, as I have no access to my main cellar....

[Thomas Rippe]

As submitted on other sites, I'm in for a NYC meeting. I'd vote for PDH to keep the price down for those who have to source a bottle. Also I'd prefer capping it at twelve. And the sooner the better!

[Mark Golodetz]

I would love to participate

[SteveC]

Let's do it when Sax is in town.

Keep me in the loop. I am in.

[Kevin Patrick]

Mike, if you're keeping a list I would like to participate. After your Bordeaux group cleaned out us CLONYC guys, I have steadily shifted my attention across the Atlantic. A night of '82 retrospectives should be fantastic.

[John Chapman]

Guess I missed this before. Add me to the list, looks like no discussion of dates yet?

[jordan whitehead]

fantastic 82 dinner tonight in chicagoland. can't wait to do it again in NY

[Carrie D]

After reading the TNs for the Chicago tasting, I would love to be a part of this NYC dinner if there is still space available. I have a couple of 82s in the cellar as it is my daughter's birth year and could also source some if needed.

[Victor Hong]

Does January 25 work for people?

[Mark Golodetz]

Not for me I am afraid

[L e o F r o k i c]

Does January 25 work for people?

Not for me either.

[salilb]

Can't make that date either.

[Mark Golodetz]

It's going to be hard for a lot of people, as it's the time when the UGC is in town, and there are a lot of wine dinners.

[Victor Hong]

I had figured that the day might make an interesting pair of bookends: 1982 cougars on one end and 2009 cherubs on the other.
See you at the tasting!

[Mike Reff]

umm yeah I was figuring that the dinner would be sometime later this year, right around late Spring or early summer.
