Burgundy dinner

[Thomas]

Hey everyone, this is a copy of an email I sent to is-wine customers. This is going to be a great night.

"In cooperation with Village Wine Imports, is-wine plays host to its first wine dinner of the 2002 season. We call it Burgundy Night and it takes place at Il Buco Restaurant, 47 Bond Street, between Lafayette and Bowery.

This will be a wonderful event, offering the opportunity to taste as well as to buy some fine Burgundy wines that are hard to get at retail."
