Sometimes the invitation is in the mail, sometimes it is not.
I realized a couple of days ago that this was the case for the Gambero Rosso 'Tre Bicchieri' 2009 Edition in New York and just gave them a call today to fix that…
I kinda zoomed through it in 2008 as it was crunch time in the preparations for my Just Over 50 and Not Dead Yet panel at South by Southwest.
The 2009 selection is a little narrower, over 100 wines versus 300 plus wines in 2008.
This tasting is a collaboration between Gambero Rosso and Slow Food USA.
The New York Tasting takes place on March 6th from 4:30 to 7:00 pm at the Metropolitan Pavilion,
125 West 18th Street.
There are 2 other Tre Bicchieri Tastings in the USA.
On March 2: Los Angeles 4:30 – 7:00 PM
at The Fairmont Miramar Hotel
101 Wilshire Boulevard
in Santa Monica, CA 90401.
On March 4: San Francisco 4:30 – 7:00 PM
Herbst Pavilion at the Fort Mason Center
(between Fisherman’s Wharf and the Golden Gate Bridge on San Francisco Bay)
According to the official site:
may be purchased for $50, which includes a complimentary copy of
Gambero Rosso’s Italian Wines 2009, the ultimate guide to Italian
wine—a $40 value. They are on sale now through the following outlets:

A great wine experience if you can make it.
To wet your appetite Scruggy compiled a list of articles on the 2009 edition.

Ready to Sniff Out great wines: 'Gambero Rosso' Tre Bicchieri Tasting, March 3rd, New York
Serge – I’m having the same “tickets are in the mail” problem for the Los Angeles event! The e-mail says my comps from Slow Food USA were sent on Monday by Gambero Rosso or their distributor (?!), the wine shop sponsor knows nothing about the comp tickets, and I have no number to call. Any ideas? THANKS!
