Please put me down for a 2004 Allemand Cornas ‘Chaillot’

To continue the theme, put me down for an '09 Chaillot.

decant that 13 jamet for 6-7 hours and it’ll blossom to something amazing. My bottle started super thin and green. Finished half and corked it up. Tasted it 5-6 hours later and it was amazeballs

Will do this.

Looking for a new restaurant location…

Having done a northern Rhone dinner at Racines (with Jay, among others), I think the food works just fine and the corkage is free since it’s a Monday.

Don’t know if this is something you’d consider but the food at Bite of Hong Kong (esp. the squab) is very N. Rhone friendly.

Racines is always a fine choice though there might be need to check the menu as it can be very seafood-centric.

I think Racines usually have the steak as the option though? Had some lovely lamb there a few weeks ago.

I’m not overly fussy with the restaurant choice so long as it has non pork options. [cheers.gif]

I made a reservation at Batard for 11/19
3 course $79+$15+20% tip+8.5% tax = $121/person all-in. 4 course will be $20 more.

champagne flute, 3 red stems (which I think will be replaced through night), 1 white stem (replaced as needed) and multiple decanters

On Racines… I am just seeing the suggestions here now after the (I) comment on seafood and (ii) a recommendation for Batard on other forum. Is Batard OK? Re Racine, I did reach out because they seem quite wine friendly, but they did not confirm details on a Monday/giving the stems with out extra fee, etc.

Batard is great, sure.

Batard works for me… Thanks.

Sorry but I have to drop out. Family who usually come for Thanksgiving on Wednesday are coming on Sunday or Monday this year. Have a good time!

Noted! Thanks

I think this date would work for me. Count me in as interested. Thanks!

added! please let me know which bottle you will be bringing.

Can you add me as a maybe here as well?

Thanks!

2007 Francois Villard Cote Rotie La Brocarde most likely

I also have another like minded Rhône drinking friend who would like to join us. So please put me down as a +1 for the night. I will find out what he is bringing.
