| A question about getting into Manhattan from Jersey City:
Is it easy to get from my hotel in Jersey City to NYC by train? If so, about how long would it take to do this. I am seriously considering going to NYC on Monday before I fly back. Thanks.

| It's a slam dunk (depending on how close your hotel is to a PATH train). If it's close, take the PATH straight into the city. Could be as short as 10 minutes (on the train) or as long as 20 if you go all the way to 33rd St.
www.panynj.com has information and maps
According to the hotel website, it's also one block away from the ferry terminal (NY Waterway). That's another option but more expensive ($5 one way vs. $1 or $1.50 on the PATH).

| Brad, did you decide on the time yet?
P.S.: Brad, there will be 3 of us as I mentioned in the PM. She may drive in with TBird. They are both coming from the great state of Bklyn. | | | |

The sipoff starts the minute I walk through the door.
My plane lands at 4:00 and we hope to arrive around 4:30 | | | |

ABC will be televising its 7th Super Bowl.
For the Superbowl at Brad's House:

Wines: Post what you'd like to bring in this thread. We can decide as a group, as that might be the most fun for everyone? Not going to have an extremely structured tasting.... it's a Superbowl party after all... with good food and great wine.
It will be buffet style, but will have appetizers, cheeses, Italian meats, etc... along with more of an entree dish, and desserts.... I will have vegetarian dishes as well.
Party ends when it ends.... :-)
Questions? Suggestions? Let me know....

| Great party -
Brad: Excellent hosting, with all those cheeses, meats and delicious ribs, followed by pastries and great coffee (albeit sullied by some cream and sugar much to LCC's chagrin)! Didn't get to taste a lot of other goodies (quiche, salad, etc).
Kosta Brown Kanzler, Turley, Clos Mogador, Clos Martinet, and a burg that STW and Ojeffso will describe - all great wines! Missed the Torbreck Descendant - but there were too many wines.
Enjoyed meeting TBird and ItalianWino.
Great discussion on whether Elvis truly is king!
I am sure LCC and others will post tasting notes...

| Funny stuff, vinotyro!
Indeed ... what can I say ... great!
Good to meet TBird & IW. I have to say that I respect TBird's opinion on wine, food, & chocolate. The guy knows his chocolate, not too many do (as well as wine). But man oh man, dissing The King?!?
A huge thank you to Mr. VC. The cheese course was awesome & for me "food of the night". But, a great, great job by Brad! Thanks a LOT, Brad for hosting & all you did.
The wines were all excellent! Thanks all! | | | |
