New Jersey young professionals tasting group

Ken V:

Luke Vargas:

Oh my, this is a fun crowd! You’ve made me see the error of my ways.

We’d love to meet the Union County-ers out there – age or professionalism be damned – and pop some corks. Any Garden Staters please make your presence known here or in my inbox and I’ll start work compiling a group email in the next few days.

Na zdrowie!

I’m in a Nebbiolo group in NYC that ranges from late 20s to early 70s. It’s a great group. Us old guys may be slow, but we have deep cellars and we know we’re not going to live long enough to drink it all. So we bring the good stuff, sometimes 2 or 3 bottles. The young guys bring good stuff too, but typically more recent vintages. We also have learned a thing or two, so it can be more educational.

We even give non-wine advice, like how to sleep at work when you have a new-born at home.

Hand them back to their parents?

You guys are terrible! Luke, welcome to the board, glad they didn’t scare you off. Suggest you maybe PM Sherri Shapiro, David Frankil and Colleen Prince—this thread will help with contacts since they all posted on it

Met Kaitlyn on that trip and she is good people. I know too many of the “laugh riot” posters on this thread and good manners will preclude me from commenting further

Very good luck with this. I’m not “scheduled” back in the area for another 3 years, but one never knows…

Hey Luke,

Count me in if you get something put together.

I’m in Bergen County but often in Middlesex County for work.

Union County is decidedly north NJ, but I would be interested. I live in Mt. Tabor, so it’s an easy shoot down route 24 for me.

DavidFrankil · January 26, 2018, 1:26pm

Allison and I are only young at heart, but we are professional and have plenty of wine to share.

We’re in central Jersey, would be interested in a tasting group as well.

Ian_H · February 21, 2018, 12:50am

Interested in this as well if you put something together. Live in Morris County.

Karen_Troisi · February 22, 2018, 7:31pm

We are young at heart - does that count? As for the professional part…

John and I might be interested (when we at our NJ residence) - please keep us posted.

The OP is MIA for almost a month now.

Bdklein · February 24, 2018, 6:45pm

That’s because lots of old farts hijacked the thread!!

Karen_Troisi · March 17, 2018, 4:00pm

If anyone is interested - there will be a Jean Edwards wine dinner on Saturday, 4/21, at Anthony’s Restaurant in Haddon Heights, NJ.

Count us in - we’ll be there - thank you Karen!

cjsavino · March 19, 2018, 12:49am

Will make it a post on its own.

Looks like I missed the boat here… lmk if there’s something going on: Union NJ also

ijohnharry · August 29, 2019, 4:44am
