NYC Thursday 3/28. 2019!

Recent yelp reviews like the current food better fwiw. I’ll have a chance to firm my own opinion at the big CRB dinner.

Slaton, do you need stems? I can pack an extra glass for you if so.

Definitely! Thank you, Zach.

Is this BYO stem? I am at the store and can bring a zalto or two.

Bottle-wise I've got an Occhipinti Frappato from the good ol' days (2009), 2013 Ganevat Julien en Billat, and 2002 Donnhoff Auslese...

No problem. It's no Zalto but it holds wine just fine.

 

[Jay Miller]

I also have extra stems.

Thanks all for a wonderful evening, especially Jay and Jeff for organizing.
I look forward to Jeff's posting to which I will add my impressions and other thoughts.

Quick question for Secchu Yokota tonight.
How is the beverage list and pricing? Do you recommend to buy from it, or BYO?

Champagne is my usual go-to for Japanese food, particularly sashimi or anything fried, although I also enjoy a nice daiginjo or junmai. I bet a Rosé des Riceys would be lovely as well.

 

[Jeff Grossman]

R de R will be lovely; any bright wine (== enough acid to cut through a dinner of mostly fried foods) should work.

Corkage is $30 so not inexpensive.

List is short but with good choices. Can't add much to what was in the thread.
