I know there are some guys who were interested in this before, so I thought I'd post it here.

I'm planning on getting together a group of guys who are interested in attending a "Wine Tasting".  A friend of mine, Luca Mazzotti, is the founding owner of West Park Imports and is willing to lend his expertise and time to host a nice event.

Here is a link to his company's website:

Luca is extraordinary when it comes to finding small production, outstanding Italian wines, and time spent with him at one of his tastings is both very fun and educational.

He has an open date of Thurs. Aug 30th, late afternoon.  If anyone in the Philly area would like to attend, please send me a PM, or reply in this thread, so I can get a head count.  Depending on interest , I can put something together no problem.  If that date is not feasible, perhaps we can arrange another time. There is no charge to attend.

I look forward to seeing you there.

I didn't know the Philadelphia area produced wines.

It doesn't...but it has a great company that imports some very good vino.

Jamie,

I look forward to joining you and Luca.  

Wayne,

Between Luca and Greg Moore (and David), Philadelphia has two of the best importers in the country demanding superb shipping and storing practices.  When you come back to Philadelphia, we'll have a sampling of their wares.

Wayne,

Glad you can make it.  It'll be a good time.

[Michael Christensen]

being in the wine business, the importer may demand superb shipping and storing practices, but the wholesaler and retailer may be another matter......we have refrigerated trucks, but there are several wholesalers in Atlanta who run around town all day with a full load and NO refrigeration....can you say COOKED Brunello di Montalcino!

It better be 60 degress or less from winery to my table or I am not interested.

Yesterday's Montepulciano d'Abruzzo with dinner at Vittorio's pre-show was divine...

Hurrah for the Edinburgh Festival. You boys REALLY should schedule your Scottish visits around OOR KULTCHUR!

The Links ain't all we're about....

 
FBD.

Jamie - Generally a very strong interest in things wine related, but just too jammed this week.

One of the "good" things about living here in the people's republic of Pennsylvania and the state controlled wine stores is that there are a plethora of very fine BYOBs. Even my golf club has a BYOB night.

Thanks to Tom, Wayne & Doug for attending.  I hope a good time was had by all.  If possible, I'd like to plan on putting together another outing sometime this fall.

Salute'.

Jamie,

Does this mean I won't get any serious answers to my questions to Tom Paul tonight???  



Seriously, if you have another event, I'd love to attend as we get further into the fall.

There's just been too much going on as summer comes to a sad close and school begins.

Please give me a shout next time.

Best Regards,
Mike
