I'm heading to Kingston, NY Nov 15th-19th. I'm guessing I'll be completely swamped each of those evenings. However, if anybody is in the area and flexible with planning perhaps we could get together on short notice for some wine/dinner? I could fly in Friday the 14th instead specifically to get together if I know something by the end of the day tomorrow.

Let me know. If not, I'll catch you next time.

I won't be up there then, but one of my best friends runs a nice wine store in Kinston. If you have the time, you might stop in to Miron Liquors and ask for Eric and tell him you're a friend of mine. He'll at least be able to recommend some good places for dinner. There's a bistro in Kingston that's pretty good, with an owner who loves to talk wine.

Thanks for the info Board-O. I'll definitely check it out.

Joe, my parents place in MA isnt too far from Kingston, I might be able to meet up for dinner or for a few drinks and a cigar...

Cool. I have your cell number. Depending on how things shape up I'll give you a call and see if we can hook up somehow.

Did you ever get to meet Eric?

Nope. I went by but he had just left for the day.

Too bad. You would have had a great time talking with him. He and I have shared our best wines.
