Can You Name These WineBoard Members?

Dutton wins the oak, now the rest of the story:

We met, after a lot of precoordination at or about 6 PM on October 3 at Enoteca I Trulli. Bev and I got there early so I left her with the bartender, and went to check out their wine store, Vino, down the street. It is very nice with all Italian wines organized by region. They will have a website up early in November. Price are reasonable. Back at the wine bar, Foodie arrived with Anne, then Scoop and RAD. Their wives were both still working. The six of us had a round or two of nice Italian wines, and then decided not to hock our rolling stock to have dinner there. They were very nice to us though, allowing Bev and I to stow all our day's purchases behind the bar.

RAD suggested Les Halles Bistro around the corner, and called and found out they had room for us. So RAD picked up the bill (heh, heh) and we beat feet for the bistro. It is on Park Avenue South not Lexington as we previously reported to Jackie. It was a terrific place, despite the address. Understand it's mobbed on weekends. Complete dinners could be had from around $15.00. Of course we had to have a little more vino. Foodie found a Red Sancerre on the wine card, so we started with that while Bev took the first two pictures. After the entrees arrived, Scoop and I were asked to pick a Rhone for the next round. We found a Guigal Gigondas that all agreed on. Both wines were very bistrolike and nice. We had a round of varied dessert wines with dessert, and excused RAD from the bill.

Having heard from all since we got home, know that a good time was had by all. Highly recommend getting together with other Wine Board members when the opportunity arises. Even though we were of different ages and occupations, we found we had a lot in common besides wine. Bev did take another picture after the dessert wine. Maybe Jackie will replace the current picture with that one!
