| I'm in! Even if it's just me and you :-)
The Winehouse in Norfolk/Ghent has moved from a wine place to a food place. The young chef is really good, and the wine selections are decent. I'll start to look for corkable destinations. | | | Visit The Butcher Block at http://www.butcherblocktampa.com/ | |

| Juggs...
Glad that you can make dinner. Maybe Gary and Dr. T will chime in so that it won't appear that you and I are on a date....what would our spouses think????
Can I leave the restaurant choice in your capable hands?

You can indeed. I'll look around. Where are you staying? | | | Visit The Butcher Block at http://www.butcherblocktampa.com/ | |

I have to be in the Pembroke Mall in VA Beach on Saturday, so I'll try to stay at the Hilton Garden Inn across the street from there. If there's better eats in Norfolk, or Portsmouth, where we ate the last time, that's okay with me....

I'll look around. There's a new Ruth's Chris right there (I mean *right* there) if all else fails. We are going to have a tough time finding a place that will allow corkage, but I'll work on it. I'll probably also try to involve some wino-but-not-VC friends. | | | Visit The Butcher Block at http://www.butcherblocktampa.com/ | |

| I'm more seriously considering The Winehouse in Ghent (Norfolk). The food is ridiculous, and I think they have some interesting selections on the list--once you get past the Silver Oaks and the Opuses (Opai?).
Corkage is going to be another story, though... | | | Visit The Butcher Block at http://www.butcherblocktampa.com/ | |

| I found their menu, but didn't see a wine list. Do you have it, or just recalling from memory? | | | |

Recalling it. They're going through some spasms with their cellar, I think. They have their "normal" list and their "reserve" list. We ordered 7 bottles off the reserve list before we found one that they actually had in stock. | | | Visit The Butcher Block at http://www.butcherblocktampa.com/ | |

Thanks for resuscitating this thread since it's only a week away. I'm totally at your disposal....whatever venue you choose is okay by me. Does Norfolk make sense for you and Gary or is there another locale that would be better?

Yeah, Norfolk would be better. In the next day or so, I'll report back with a site. | | | Visit The Butcher Block at http://www.butcherblocktampa.com/ | |

I forgot that baseball was his other compulsion.....but maybe his profession IS getting in the way of drinking some vino with the rest of us derelicts!
