| | For those who are on the fence about bringing wine - Dino has some great wines at silly prices on their list ($10 over retail - like bringing your own bottle plus corkage). | | | |

| I am good for something Italian, most likely. If my Italian stash is looking too low, maybe instead I'll have some fun with their wine list.
Mrs. TJ is still tentative, I'll know for sure by this weekend. | |

| Is the food going to be a free-for-all, family style, or a somewhat limited menu? sometimes i get confused on how much to order with small plates and more than 4 people.
I know, it doesn't take much.  | | | |

| | I think I can find something nice in an Italian wine, or I might go for buying off Dean's list. | | | |

| | I think I will bring a 1997 Antinori Tignanello. I had a back and forth of e-mails with Dean Gold (Dino) and he said that they do not have that vintage on their list. Now if I can just remember where in the cellar I hid it. | | | |

| | Mine is a 1999 Barbaresco and I'll tell you the name as soon as I go back to The Italian Store and buy the rest of their stock. I can't remember right now. | |

| | Well how did it go? I crashed a dinner party at Citronelle last night (my friend was in DC for the American Corporate Counsel meeting and brought me as his date). Anyways, I'm sure the food at Dino's was better. | | | |

| too much? we are metroing.
we have 7 people? Champers seems to go down pretty easily compared to "extra" reds... but your call. I am still trying to savor the taste of the champagne we had at Dave's.
what is the dress for Dino's? would jeans be ok or is it business casual or even nicer? doesn't seem to say on the web site from what i can see. | | | |
