The former owners of Lundy’s Restaurant were a publicly traded company by name of Tam Restaurants, Inc ( OTC:TAMR ). From reports and articles that were published, Tam Restaurants faced several downfalls one of which was Lundy’s Restaurant. The quality of food suffered at Lundy’s and customers were driven away.

With new owners and operators in place, “The Players Club”, a family owned business that is run by Mrs. Afrodite Dimitroulakos, a veteran of restaurant industry, image of Lundy’s is about to change for better.

With new Executive Chef Russell Guarneri whipping together magnificent cuisine, Lundy’s has received raves from both new customers and customers that were driven away by former operators. The reputation that was acquired over past few years was negative, Lundy’s used to be a tradition for Brooklynites since 1934, when doors were shut for 17 years and then reopened by Tam Restaurants, Inc , customers came back. They were proud that world famous Brooklyn Landmark had opened it’s heavy doors once more.

Though it was half size, seating over 700 instead of 2,400, customers still recalled restaurants glory when they witnessed people waiting in line around corner just to sit and eat at this great restaurant.

Now under new ownership and management, family owned “Players Club” dba Lundy Brothers Restaurant has all intentions of bringing this glorious Brooklyn Landmark back to where it belongs.

They plan on bringing back those loyal customers and reintroducing them to glory of Lundy’s, they plan on attracting new customers that will be able to call Lundy’s their tradition.

When planning a wine tasting party, some obvious questions about parameters arise. How many people should you invite? What types and how many wines should you pour?

It is my opinion that an informal gathering should be kept to 12 people or less. This ensures that conversation and dialogue will be much more conducive than with a larger group.

Blind tasting is most fun and informative. Wrapping bottles in bags will negate past preferences and prejudices. You may be surprised what you "like" without access to wine label.

Focus on a relatively specific style of wine. Within this framework, some variations should be considered. I recently hosted a wine tasting party where we tasted Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignons.
