Mike on Tour (at last!) -- May 3 at Il Violino--Sang and SuperTuscan

OK, a quick update everyone:

Evenings for May 1, 2 and 4 are more or less locked. That said, if you can only see me on one of those nights and are not already part of things (particularly for the 4th), let me know and I will intervene with the organizers.

May 3rd evening remains open and will be on the Upper West Side. Margie Russell has generously offered to do the organizing for that dinner–many, many thanks, Margie!

Lunches on 2nd - 4th remain pretty open, though I have some juggling to do there.

Again, thanks everyone for wanting to welcome me back to NYC

Mike

Hi Margie, thanks for the message. Unfortunately I’ll have to skip this one.
Tom

Margie, thanks for the invitation. I can’t make it on that day, though I’m already set for one of the other days. Cheers!

Wish I had seen this thread sooner! Sadly have work events up the wazoo the entire week. Would love to join the next meet up in NY, though.

Ok, sorry we will miss you Subha, hopefully next time

On the 4th Mike is joining “Wine Club Wednesday at WS”. The usual suspects of Rodrigo B, Dan Bast!an and I are the core members. We have space for a couple more people. DM me if interested.

6:30 PM. 37 Hudson Yards.

Margie/Mike -

Is there at thread or email distribution where you would like to start discussing wines?

I’m just about to do that now, Gil. I think I’d like to choose a theme of Sangiovese/SuperTuscan if that’s OK. And…I don’t want people to bring 2 bottles, not at all, but I do have a pair for this—a 2010 La Mannella Brunello and a 2011 Sangiovese from Leonetti in Washington which I will bring. I will also amend the title to focus in on the March 3rd evening. Thanks!

Margie, Dan is unable to come that night, he has a 24 hour shift at his work, so I will meet him on the 4th instead.

We are thinking alike. Looking the menu, I had stood up 4 bottles of Italian red (2 sangio, 2 nebbiolo). I thought I might bring a white as a starter/first course wine. (planning to bring only one red; stood up 4 to have a choice).
