No, as much as I’d love to have you over, we can’t accommodate more than about a dozen guests at our house. But if you don’t have any plans and will be in New York for Thanksgiving dinner, I would highly recommend the Beard House. Every year they serve a fabulous Thanksgiving dinner with a guest winemaker serving his or her wines.
For the second year in a row, Tony Coturri of Coturri Winery will be that guest winemaker. He’ll be pouring some fabulous stuff, including his North Coast 2008 Rosé. If you missed out this summer, here’s your chance to wrap your taste buds around one fantastic Rosé.
Totally coincidentally, I had already decided that the Coturri North Coast Rosé was going to be one of our choices for our own T-Bird fete, so I got my hands on a few of the last remaining cases. So, check out the Beard House deal, and if you can’t make it I’ll sell you some of this precious juice along with other Coturri delights. If you didn’t know, The Beard House is the Greenwich Village brownstone that was the residence of the late James Beard, the legendary chef, cookbook author and all around famous foodie, before being a foodie was cool. It’s a beautiful place with a garden and a fantastic dining room. The food is always wonderful, and you get to meet a lot of interesting folks, because you’re dining at communal tables. Check it out for T-Day or for their other offerings throughout the year. I wish I was getting a free dinner out of this, but I’m only talking it up it because it’s a uniquely New York experience, and I love it that Tony’s wines will once again be featured with great food. Live it up!
Usually with Summer’s end comes an end (or at least a dwindling) of the whackos who come through the door at West Side Wine.
