Some Important Facts About the Louis/Dressner October 24th Tasting
- Formal wear is optional
- The tasting is by invitation only. If you're not invited, you're not invited. Do you go to other people's dinner parties without being invited? This is a private event.
- Having a business card you printed on your home printer which describes you as a wine consultant or wine journalist does not qualify as that all-important invitation.
- You are always free to call our office or send an e-mail requesting an invitation. The worst that can happen is we will say no, but it doesn't hurt to try.
- This is not an event for people with no interest in our wine who want to get drunk or network to further their personal careers.
Objects Confiscated from Gate Crashers at Last Year's Louis/Dressner Tasting.
- Anyone caught filling a half-glass of wine to take a tiny taste and then spilling everything out will have their arms broken at the door by our security team.
- The third person who tells us it is great they can buy direct from us because they can avoid the excessive mark-ups of our wholesaler will have their arms broken at the door by our security team.
- Anyone asking if Galimatias from Domaine le Briseau is available in New Jersey and if they can have the three case price for a one case order because Galimatias will be a hand sell in New Jersey's less sophisticated market, will have their arms broken at the door by our security team.
- Anyone asking why Galimatias from Domaine le Briseau is more expensive to a restaurant account in Connecticut than a restaurant in Brooklyn will be on their way back to Connecticut faster than they can say Metro North.
- The fifth person who tells me that the Poulsard from Emmanuel Houillon is a wacky wine will be subject to a public humiliation, to be announced later.
- Your packages and bags are subject to a security search at the entrance of the tasting, at the discretion of our security staff. We apologize in advance for this inconvenience, but we use a very sophisticated system of wine tasting parasite profiling.

- This is a very congenial, user-friendly event. Our experience is having gate crashers hurts the ambience.
- Most important, have fun!
