June 2, 2019 - Sunday, at
North Square in Greenwich Village. Cost will be a few dollars more than last year. They finally raised the price.
Homepage - North Square Estimated cost $87 - $93, based on how many attendees we have.
As long as the food continues to be good, we'll keep returning to our
private room. It's an enjoyable experience.
Theme: Rieslings and Reds (R&R).
Don't have a wine like that, our custom at these dinners is to bring a Champagne or a sweet wine.
If you're new to the dinner, the buy in (verifable on CellarTracker or Wine Searcher) is $35.00
Interested in joining us? New attendees and the regulars are encouraged to attend. We're warm and welcoming. At dinner, we talk miles, points, and wine. For the cost of a bottle of wine, you'll drink lots of other good bottles; some costing more than $35.00. You can purchase when you arrive in NYC, or source from my cellar. You can also ship a bottle in advance to my house.
After our very successful 10th anniversary winedo two years ago, there was discussion about WD11. We're always fine tuning the dinner and wine selections. At WineDo10, there was discussion about reducing the amount of wine at dinner, and we managed to do that last year. Several years ago, people brought bonus bottles. It was difficult to pour 36 bottles over the course of dinner. Last year we had 12 bottles, and that was just the right amount for the 12 people that attended. You can't enjoy a wine or two if you're so busy trying to taste a little of each of the 24 bottles. We did flights last year, and it went well.
Two years ago, in post 145,

I would suggest we double up (pick a partner, whatever) on bottles - that way we can have a manageable number of pours of maybe even better wines that many of us wouldn't have the chance to otherwise try.
We'll do this again this year > couples bring
1 bottle of $70 wine instead of 2 bottles of $35 wine (if possible). If you'd like to source from my cellar (any attendee), we can double up. Heck, we can even triple up and I'll bring a bottle costing $35 x 3 ($105). My goal is to have 18 bottles if we have 24 attendees. That still gives us lots of wine to taste and enjoy. And with less bottles, I can sit and enjoy myself and each of the wines, and so can you.
As for the theme... previous attendees know what WineDo is all about. Last year we had many new attendees at dinner.
At WineDo 1 and 2, we were asked to bring our best bottle to dinner. We had $10 - $200 bottles. Over the years we've had theme dinners. This year, bring something good. Bring a
Riesling or a Red wine from any wine region. As long as the bottle is a minimum of $35.00. Bring what you like, as long as it's a
Riesling or a Red. When in doubt, bring a
Champagne or a
sweetie for after dinner. I'll ask you to post your wines in the spring. If you ask me, you can get a good bottle of Riesling for $35, and if you double up with someone, you can get a
really good bottle for $70.
Maximum
24 attendees. Payment details to follow this spring based on how many sign up. Last year 12 Flyertalkers shared an intimate experience.
See you in June.
