New Restaurant: Afghan Kebab House!

Afghan Kebab House recently moved to a new location on 1st Ave, between E.75th and E. 76th Streets. They are a small restaurant with ZERO corkage! As they are small, I'm going to limit this event to 6 people. We will have 1 white wine and 3 red wines. Looking at their menu they seem to be a mix between the menus at OM Indian and ABA Turkish. I ate there once at their original location and I think we will love this restaurant.

Here is a link to their menu..

The cost for this event is $39, and is for the wine only.

PLUS a reminder of our usual rules:

You will also have to pay the cost of your food (plus 33% for tax and tip). Please order at least two courses (i.e. a main dish and either appetizer or dessert) for your dinner. There are very few restaurants that allow us to bring our own wine for a low corkage fee. We must be good guests to encourage the restaurant to continue to be generous to us.

Please read and understand the group's cancellation policy. If you take spot, then cancel, and no one else takes the spot, you will not receive a refund or credit. No refunds or credits will be given for no-shows or late cancellations (unless someone else takes your spot). All cancellations are subject to a $5 service fee.

NOTE: Meetup has started charging a "Partner Fee" that is above and in addition to the listed price of the event. It comes to approximately $3 more for each RSVP. You will see this charge when you complete your rsvp and pay for the event. MEETUP+ members are exempt from this charge.

Please use public transportation - NO DRINKING AND DRIVING!

The Wines (notes will be distributed at the dinner):

2021 Domaine Denis Bachelet Bourgogne-Aligoté ($45) - Burgundy's "other" white wine, Aligote. Much more saline and sometimes with a lip smacking acidity. It should whet our appetites perfectly.

2010 Domaine Grand Veneur Châteauneuf-du-Pape Les Origines ($55) - CT 92.3, WA 95 points, "Another blockbuster is the 2010 Chateauneuf du Pape Les Origines. A blend of 50% Grenache, 30% Syrah and 20% Mourvedre (45- to-95-year-old vines) aged in small oak, it exhibits an opaque purple color as well as a sweet bouquet of blackberries, espresso roast, ink and graphite. While clearly a modern-styled Chateauneuf du Pape, it retains plenty of the region's typicity and authenticity. It should drink well for 15+ years. (drink 2012-2027)"

2016 Outpost Petite Sirah The Other ($75) - CT 92.3, JD 96 points, "the 2016 Petite Sirah Howell Mountain is a monster of a wine that has full-bodied notes of blue fruits, violets, blood orange, and pine. It has bright acidity, a stacked mid-palate, present tannins, and everything it needs to evolve gracefully for 2-3 decades. This isn’t one of those overdone, fruit bomb Petite Sirahs and is the real deal. (Drink between 2019-2039)"

2017 Marc Sorrel Crozes-Hermitage ($40) - CT 92, WA 88 points, "the 2017 Crozes Hermitage features ripe cherries and peppery nuances. Medium-bodied, with some gently dusty tannins, it's a quaffable year, meant to be consumed young—anytime over the next 5-6 years. (drink 2019-2025)"
