Hey Don (and others)

Was just surfing and saw this, I actually will be in DC that night, if there is room I'd love to come and maybe bring 1 other if possible. Let me know, don't want to take the place of others.

I was the aforementioned organized of the "e-gullet" wine dinner the night of the "incident" and I can confirm that we arranged with Rissa to bring three bottles (there were 8 of us) of Oregon Pinot and she was even nice enough to let us open a 4th (A California ringer) that one of our party brought that night after I went over and asked if okay. Think the thing is to see what they can do and be flexible, bring your bottles but also buy a wine or two off the list I agree with Derek they have a nice, well-priced list, but also nice to bring wines if you want to stay within a particular theme, varietal or whatnot. Our experience with Corduroy confirms that most restaurants, even those that have been burned, are flexible and accomodating if you respect what they are trying to do.
