Well, for that matter I have a 1995 Roriz. So I'm going to completely forget about the Messias Colheita and propose we try GC 80 and 97, Roriz 95 and 97, the 75 oddity and the pre-war oddity. How does that sound to everybody?
Re: Emergency - NYC Friday Mar 20: GC1980
most excellent.
ummm I guess I need to try and influence the wife a bit more =)

Then pay a disproportionate amount of the food. Or bring that and something else.TBird wrote:i don't wanna be cheaping out...
Please, where is this going to be?
Re: Emergency - NYC Friday Mar 20: GC1980
cool deal. i have the 99 tho, not the 97...
i know i should decant for sediment, but any suggestions on further decanting? will sediment decanting be sufficient?

Re: Emergency - NYC Friday Mar 20: GC1980
My mistake. I'm very curious to try them, as I also have never had a Roriz. I will be decanting mine before I leave for class, probably around 10 or 11 am tomorrow.
Re: Emergency - NYC Friday Mar 20: GC1980
OK, I’m confused. Please challenge or confirm:
Do we need to bring glasses?

I look forward to seeing you all. From what I saw on the restaurant website, they are cash only and they add 20% automatically for the gratuity. I am glad there is no corkage fee. They certainly will deserve the 20% tip and since there is no corkage fee, I think we are getting good value.

Re: Emergency - NYC Friday Mar 20: GC1980
I think someone wrote it is at 7PM but not 100% sure. It might have been a dream that I had.

So let’s make it 6pm.SushiNorth wrote:Am calling to make reserves at La Sirene, with the understanding that they won't be able to give us more than a typical dinner slot. If this is OK, let's pick a time -- say, 7pm? As we have one primary bottle between the three of us, we should be fine.

Don't forget to bring pictures of Maximilian! We wanna see them

Re: Emergency - NYC Friday Mar 20: GC1980
Any of those reservations times is fine for me. I'll check this page on Friday. I'm still longing to find out from G-Man what kind of birthday cake he is baking for me in April.

Re: Emergency - NYC Friday Mar 20: GC1980
Holy cow! TPF apparently stopped informing me there were updates to this thread, and look how its ballooned!
Ok, so problem #1 -- La Sirene did not pick up the phone when I called, nor did they return my call. As such, we have no reservations there at the moment. I will spend tomorrow morning finding us an alternative venue.
problem #2 -- that's a lot of port! I've got to drive to cape cod the following morning! If anyone would prefer not to bring port and pay a larger share of the food bill, they are welcome.

Re: Emergency - NYC Friday Mar 20: GC1980
OK, so after a long search I can only conclude there aren't any reasonable byo places left. Not really. Anyway, tomorrow morning I'll try La Sirene again, and if that doesn't work, i'm calling these in order. If you have a suggestion, please let me know asap. I'll PM my phone number to everyone in case you don't hear the location and lose access to TPF. Julian -- yes we'll be in need of glasses, tnx. timing: assume 6:30 at the earliest.
The Pink Tea Cup (soulfood)
Kamui Den (japanese kitchen)
Tai Thai (duh)
Spice (thai)
Nori (sushi)
Cube 63 (trendy sushi)
Milon (Indian -- the crazy xmas light place on 1st ave)
Sigiri (Indian, near Milon)
Sadly, I'm going to pass on these:
Ivo & Lulu -- too small
Tartine -- too small
Himalayan Cafe -- too small
I'm tempted to just skip on La Sirene given how tiny it is, but i'll give them one shot to come through. The other too-small places above are either REALLY too small, or are cramped with impatient and rude staff.

I'm going to pass tonight, I've picked up a bad case of the flu and have been doing nothing all morning except coughing and sneezing.

Re: Emergency - NYC Friday Mar 20: GC1980
I’ll bring glasses and placemats.
I won’t bring my doesn’t-fit-the-theme oddity.
I will bring many empties for Josh to cook; and one full W85 as a gift from UK boys.

VENUE: Pink Teacup (Soulfood)
Our target time is 6pm.
42 Grove St (between Bedford St & Bleecker St, near 7th ave)
Christopher St (1), Christopher St (PATH), W 4th St (A, C, E, B, D, F, V)
We do not have reservations as they don't take any. They told me getting seats for 5 shouldn't be a problem. No corkage, BYO for dinners only.
