Looking forward to this!
"Meet the Growers of Joe Dressner!
Importer Joe Dressner works with small, family owned and operated winegrowers that practice a "let nature take care of it" model when it comes to farming and making wine. His portolio of French and Italian wines is one of the very best. While Mr. Dressner garners much attention personally, it is the winemakers that he represents that are the real stars. On Thursday, March 24th at 7:30 pm, we'll have over a dozen of these growers on-site at our Elston Avenue store to pour and discuss their wines! It will be a casual walk-around style tasting. To complement these handcrafted wines, we'll be serving a selection of "locally sourced" sausages from The Butcher and Larder! The event will also be a fundraiser for Common Threads, with a portion of the ticket price as well as 10% of all wine sold that night being donated to this worthwhile charity. This is going to be a very cool and very chaotic event. Cost is $40 per person. Click here or call us at 773-489-3454 to make your reservation"
 
Man, missing this is killing me. It doesn't help that I finish my work week in Iowa City on Thursday afternoons, at which point I'll hop in my car and return home, instead of heading toward Chicago for vinious adventure...

grrrrr,

Kevin
 
I'll be there. I know that there will be one if not two more from here that will be going as well. Three if Arno goes. Arno? What about Lipton? Not to mention the lurkers. The Lurkers! Should be a great time.

ETA: Sorry that you won't be able to make it Kevin.
 
I'm there. Maybe we should all wear Disorderly shirts or sumfin' to identify ourselves. Let those geek flags fly!

We'll take pictures, post them and play 'disorderly-or-lurker'.

I don't know. Way too many right angles, I think I'd get a headache. Plus, you'd have to drink out of those little japanese sake boxes (I'm too lazy to google what those things are actually called) in keeping with the lines.

No, they're definitely not called Barbarians! Maybe you're confusing Barbarians! with Huns, who probably didn't drink sake, much less make a mess of masu,since I don't think they rampaged and pillaged all the way to Asia and thus probably didn't drink sake. Not that they wouldn't have liked it, but it's difficult to like something if you don't know what it is.
