First Stop is Boston on March 20th!
Can you imagine! It seems like only yesterday that we launched the first Real Wine Attack and already we’re on the seventh edition.
This year’s assault will concentrate on the East Coast and will be a massive operation. Lots of new faces will be there and we’ve asked everyone to bring vineyard workers, mobile bottlers, children and significant others. This will be the Real Wine Attack to end all Real Wine Attacks.
Here's the fabulous schedule for Boston:

Real Wine Attack 2007 in New York City at Polaner Selections Tasting on Wednesday, March 21st!
Assuming our chartered plane takes off on time and we're not stuck in Boston in a snowstorm, we will be off to New York on Tuesday night and then reconvening at the Polaner Selections Tasting the next day.
Joining us in New York will be Eric Texier, who due to a Rhône tasting in France cannot make it to Boston on Tuesday. Additionally, Catherine and Claude Maréchal from Burgundy will also be arriving in New York to join the festivities as will Manuéla and François Chidaine from Montlouis.
So, here's the fabulous schedule for the Polaner Trade tasting:

In'n'Out? There's no In'n'Out in Boston. Or anywhere else on the east coast for that matter. Speaking of which, when does this shinding head out west?
Come to the west coast again! We miss you out here!

I get it now. i was at a Classic Wines public tasting today and a wino wandered in and peed his pants. Is that why only trade are invited to your tastings. I hope at least they are rough trade.
Most of the links here are fake. Is this the fake NY sarcastic LDM site?
Joe, your RSS feed is down! As a result, I just now saw this schedule. I'll have a lot of shifting to do to make these events :(
