WineDo 7 - Sunday June 15, 2014 - NYC
The theme this year is Wines of Napa and Sonoma, with a sub-theme California. WineDo 7 is in memory of our dear friend cordelli, who enjoyed his California wines. Champagnes will be the exception to the rule. 
Estimated cost $85 - $90 all-in. Anna Cordelli has been invited to attend as a guest of WineDo 7.
Save the date: Sunday June 15, 2014 post BRT.
Here's the thread from last year.

Some background details
WineDo 1 started as a dinner the day after BRT. The theme was bring your best wine. Bottles ranged in price from $10 - $250. Just as wine improves with age, so did WineDo. Our goosey Lucy dinners started to have themes. We increased the minimum dollar amount of the wines to $35. You could bring a bonus bottle at any price, but your main bottle had to be verifiable $35. In theory, we were protecting our palette against marginal wines. The reality is that many attendees, some that have a knowledge of wine and some that didn't, stepped up and brought expensive bottles. And by expensive I mean $75 +.
For the cost of dinner and a bottle of wine, you will drink great juice.
Dinner is open to everyone, even beer drinkers.
There are plenty of stores in New York to buy wine. You can also source from my cellar.
Past WineDo's have filled up with a maximum of 24 attendees. We usually somehow manage to drink through 35+ bottles.
North Square private room. They're in Greenwich Village. They do a nice job every year. ^

♫ I'll be there, I'll be there, just call my name, and I'll be there ♫♫
Now, where will I be able to find a decent California wine that costs more than $35?
