Your own private Episode of Wine Library TV, Dinner with Eric Asimov...Wine and Menu for Hope

December 21, 2007 by serge the concierge

Shame on me! I realized on this very last day of Menu for Hope 4 that I had not mentioned any wine prizes. In case you missed my previous posts, Menu for Hope is a yearly fundraiser involving bloggers the world over and benefiting the UN World Food Programme.

At this time 10:17 AM (December 21st) we already raised $66,805.00.

If you are something of a wine groupie, Alder of Vinography has only amazing prizes starting with Your own, Private, LIVE Episode of Wine Library TV (good for Continental US only, Prize Code: WB 01).

Have dinner and wine obviously with Eric Asimov of the New York Times (in New York City, Prize Code: WB 02).

Dedicated to greener pastures and products, 6 bottles of 2004 Quixote Petite Sirah from the Stags' Leap Ranch organic vineyard and Quixote Winery sounds great (Prize Code: WB 08).

Want to get your hands dirty, spend a day in the vineyards of La Gramiere, in Castillon du Gard (southern France)with owners Amy and Matt. They grow grenache, syrah and mourvedre...Be ready for bruised fingers and an achy back but the experience is invaluable...(Prize Code: WB 15).

There are many more but I will stop here before I put you to sleep.

If you want to hedge your bets, read the Menu for Hope Tip Shit by Pim and/or head over to the Donation Page and place your bid.

The Clarence, Bono and The Edge hotel gig...in Dublin

Dec 21

I sometimes wonder how some people juggle all their apples. I found out recently that one of Bono and The Edge other gigs includes Dublin hotel, The Clarence. Right in the city center, on Wellington Quay overlooking the River Liffey, it is a great place to stay if you want to be pampered as this Hot Tub in the Penthouse with great views of the city (our illustration) shows. On Fridays and Saturdays, treat yourself...
