:: OCTOBER 8, 2011: BURNING MAN PRE-DECOMPRESSION DINNER ::
Coming off of a week of Harvest work I was exhausted, but truly excited for this event because the small gathering of 25 people brought together some of the bright stars of the culinary and technology industry, from TechCrunch to Google from Facebook to the Hub, Mashable, live-painting by artist Ian Ross and Tim’s group Grub.ly.

:: SEPTEMBER 1, 2011: #CABERNET DAY ::
The Second Annual Social Media blitzkrieg, “#CabernetDay” hit Twitter feeds, Facebook posts, Tumblr pages and the whites of our teeth across this country on Thursday, September 1st. I hosted an event with James Stolich of Cook With James, a San Francisco supper club. Visit WINETOLOGY to read more and see photos.
:: JULY 14, 2011: THE “ANTI” BASTILLE DAY PARTY ::
In collaboration with San Francisco’s Stag Dining Group, we presented the “Anti” Bastille Day Party, where “Anti” didn’t mean against, but rather, “this is what you shouldn’t do on Bastille Day.” Bordeaux wines from California and American twists on classic French cuisine paved the way.

:: APRIL 19, 2011: AUSTRALIA REDUX ::

:: MARCH 25, 2011: SHERRY | TINTO FINO ::
The question is not to ask yourself if you’d like Sherry or not. The question is, why haven’t you tasted your way through them? Because, good folk, there is not a huge difference in price between a great Sherry and an average Sherry. We partnered with Tinto Fino of NYC for this one.

:: MARCH 3, 2011: TURLEY WINE CELLARS::
Larry Turley once said that, “People who drink Zinfandel drink the wine, and people who drink Cab drink the label.” And so their new wine is aptly named, The Label. Christina Turley joined us as we poured through an incredible evening of wines. Visit WINETOLOGY to read more and see photos.

:: MARCH 26, 2010: A LUXURIOUS “BUBBLE” BATH ::
There is but one word to describe this most recent Noble Rot affair: CHAMPAGNE. Where better to explore the drink of high ceremony than amidst a setting befitting princes, presidents and kings? Indeed, it was upon this past Friday that The Noble Rot commandeered a luxury suite in one of New York City’s finest hotels. Visit WINETOLOGY to read more and see photos.
