As the theme is "Wines of Napa and Sonoma" the list of whites has a huge need for Chardonnay. Those who have not chosen yet should consider something in that category. Right now there are 8 reds (very big ones too) and 4 whites of which two are heavier than the other two. A little balance in that regard would be good.
Also as this is the season of Rosé in CA and with so many producers making stellar ones, it would be very representative of CA to have some Rosé.
The list is shaping up but the "Dry" descriptor still needs to be fixed as it does not describe what is in that section of the list. Maybe do like a typical list and use:
Main Heading--> White
Sub-headings: Dry, Off Dry etc.
Same for red.

List updated (titles and subtitles, etc. will be updated in the future.). I use the classification of dry/off dry as recorded on CellarTracker. I will look into those definitions later.
For the whites, I actually did consider another bonus white wine, but we are at the moment 2 (if our second guest will clear I may add a Chardonnay that is waiting on my to-test list. But in general, my personal to-test list is growing.).
Gaucho, feel free to put four wines for the line. I doubt that anyone would leave a bottle full

I realize that some folks will make their purchase when they arrive in New York. That's not a problem. I hope they will monitor the list (did I just say that) , and bring what we need to round out the evening. Gaucho, to answer your question > June 1.
Please note: mjm has gifted me a bottle to be shared and enjoyed. It's the 2008 Failla Pinot Noir Occidental Ridge Sonoma Coast. DLRoads, please add to the list.

I can see we are low on whites especially chards. I live in NJ and am driving in so may also bring a bunch extra in the car...snug in a cooler.
2010 Freestone Chardonnay. Have both the regular one and the single vineyard. Will also bring in the bag the 2010 Dehlinger Unfiltered Chardonnay and the 2011 Winderlea Chardonnay.
Excited...June 15th begins a week of b day celebrations....As I turn a milestone.

Hi,
I'm making a last minute trip to NYC that weekend. Could you put me down on the waitlist +1, just in case something opens up.
Thanks!

It looks like I will also be making an unexpected trip to NYC that weekend, wondering if I can be added to the waitlist in case an opening comes along. Thanks!
