This actually seems quite doable, and oooooh so desirable.

I mean, not a great use of Amex points (though I've got the balance for it).

But if I wasn't otherwise and unalterably engaged on November 10th I'd actually consider this.

Savor an epic French and Italian wine experience with Jancis Robinson and Sergio Esposito.

Vin or Vino. Barlolo or Burgundy? Each makes the ultimate expression of Merlot, but do you prefer Pomerol's Petrus or Bolgheri's Masseto? Fid out as you experience the best of France and Italy under the guidance of Master of Wine Jancis Robinson and Italian Wine Merchant Sergio Esposito. This epic evening of France and Itay's great pairings unfolds with a combination of 100-point wines, from iconic 1982 Mouton Rothschild to the 1985 Sassicaia (and the debut 1968 Sassicaia). Explore each country';s regional treasures as Alba's first tartufi bianchi of the season are paired with a rare 1955 Conterno Barolo Monfortino and 1958 Gaja Barbaresco; and France's Perigord black truffles are paired with 1990 DRC La Tache - just a few highlights from this nine-course menu featuring 17 exquisite pairings.
