Yeah, that’s right. November 21.  No warning provided.  I was so busy in the weeks leading up to the event on the 21st that I didn’t post anything here :(   Fortunately, half of the available space was already spoken for before I even sent out a “warning” email a week before the event.  In any case, here is the summary of wines/menu from the 21st:
