Hi, readers, we’ve been in New York since Sunday night. I came up to attend the annual portfolio tasting of the giant importer and distributor Martin Scott Wines — very deep in Burgundy and California boutique wineries plus lots of Spain and Italy — and not coincidentally we’ve eaten some great meals, Sunday night me and LL at Momofuku Ssam and last night with Terry of mondosapore and his permanent pal Ken and our collective friend Julie (with whom we are staying) and the irrepressible wine merchant Gabrio Tosti we had a rather riotous dinner at the marvelous Falai with six bottles of very interesting wine. All of this I will be writing about for BTYH or KoeppelOnWine. Anyway, today we head to Chelsea to tour galleries and meet some friends for dinner at Red Cat. I just wanted you to know where I am and what we’re doing. More later — with pictures and notes.

I think I’ll let you write about the Falai-night wines…even though I have the notes, shamed as always by your unyielding devotion to Work, I am so partied out after yesterday (saw Marco Caprai again at Il Buco) — plus Rosh Hashanah in NJ today…where will it end?
I hope you’re having a dandy time. Ciao.

Hey FK,
it looks like Terry is the weak link he was complaining about hangover and tiredness the next day
Lovely dinner and even better company I hope we will replay very soon.
Ciao

yeah, what a wimp. LL and I spent the next day tramping through the galleries of Chelsea and felt no ill effects!
THanks, Gabrio, for the wines you contributed.

You two are just mean.
Look at all the antidepressants I take!
