Justin Chearno. I was hesitant to write and post something, as too often social media tributes seem forced, insipid and weirdly about getting likes through tragedy. But after reading some particularly touching tributes from @tibo_ch , @thosefrieslookgood and @thisjaygreen (along with @aaronayscough ’s interview and the countless stories told Thursday at Four Horsemen and Iona), I figured sharing my thoughts could help myself and others process, honor and remember this special person (scroll to read)
My favorite weekend of the year is approaching—on May 1+2 Jules Dressner and Trigg Brown come to town!! Longtime friends and the best people to drink, eat and laugh with.
*UPDATE: Dinner is sold out! We do have a waitlist.* And that means it’s time for our Third Pair Off Dinner! Five Courses by Trigg Brown, Two pairings for each course chosen by Jules and Megan from Louis/Dressner Selections. Poured as a double blind (you don’t know what wine or which of us chose it.) And a vote at the end of each course to decide who paired better. It’s always a blast—lots of laughs, delicious food and amazing wines. (Jules is currently trailing Megan 2-nil but we all have high hopes for Jules’ showing this year.) $145/person.
The fun doesn’t stop there—Saturday night is Movie Night!! This year Jules’ has selected Drop Zone (1994), if you aren’t already aware of this movie, think Point Break but with Skydiving and Wesley Snipes 💥 What more do you need to know?! Actually, it gets even better, @dangerpiepizza is going to be here, cooking some tasty pies! Along with some of our salads and some crunchy movie snacks! Oh, and the best part—Jules, Trigg and I raid the shelves and cellar and open up all of the best bottles, that we can’t wait to share with you! Event starts at 7pm with food + wine and the movie starts around 8pm. $70/person.
Spaces limited. Text 804-709-5216 to reserve. (Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate for allergies/dietary restrictions for this dinner.)
If you haven’t heard yet, @thetenbells is BACK. We’re celebrating with a Louie D takeover tomorrow: 25$ dealer’s choice bottles from 4pm until sold out, a special by the glass and bottle list and music by yours truly, @drinpacuku , @rc.m84 and @guillaumeberg . 4pm till whenever

hi friends,
we (horsemen staff) are hosting a little hang / food drive for our fellow New Yorkers who need a little extra support right now next Monday 11/24 from 6-9pm.
food insecurity is hitting hard this season, especially with the recent SNAP disruptions, and we want to show up the way this community always shows up for us; especially for those that have less.
we’d love your help!
come and bring a donation if you can. stay for a little while and hang / have a glass and a snack on us if you’d like.
can’t come? Tell a friend, repost and spread the word if you feel inclined!
our foh + boh teams are cooking and baking. the staff is pulling bottles from their own cellars to share with you. our dear friend with the hyphenate title of wine importer/DJ, Jules Dressner, will be there to play some party jams and pour some @louisdressnerselections wine. we’re gonna make it a nice hang so that we can get a big car full of donations for city harvest.
a small way to take care of each other. hope to see you there.
xo

This Saturday we throw the first “proper” Santé Motherf*ckers in over a year: Great music and 20$ bottles till the wine runs out. This one will be bittersweet as we send off one of our favorite places -Pencil Factory- before it closes for good in July. Nati, Mike, Kylie and Elliot behind the bar, Jules, Tom and Steven on the decks playing all vinyl. Come early to cherry-pick. Poster by Tom Noble.
Huge one coming up! From 4 to 6 I’ll be pouring wines with @steven.graf.imports and @super_glou . 45 bucks gets you all you drink “tastes” and automatic entry to the party!
Then from 6 to 12 we ROOF PARTY. I’m on from 7 to 8:30pm.
Tix for tasting and party live on @nybeverages (huge thanks for the invite!)
Let’s go Knicks!
Huge weekend coming up in Austin! Stoked to be part of this absolutely stacked lineup at one of the best wine/vibe places in the USA. I’m going to head to head with @japanster and @kvledixon Friday night on a massive sound system and have been given the go-ahead to DJ till 2am. LEZGO!
