Thanks for the "head's up", Roy.

I tried looking into the NYC event. I called the hotel, but they didn't have any info (what wines are poured, cost, etc). They only knew there was an invitation-only lunch at noon and a reception at 2:00pm. They mentioned I should contact Blandy's.

I tried going to the Blandys web site but it seems to be under repair.

Any other ideas on who to contact?

Cheers!

I've sent an email to the powers that be.

We should have word in the next 48 hours if not sooner!

I heard back today, that these tastings are solely for the trade (which I was unaware of) and I apologize for mis-leading folks here.

Roy

He, he, us on this excellent forum should be in "the trade" . All together we may have a very large stock of old Blandy's wines, maybe more than Blandy's ..
