Not to make this an "invite yourself" party, and since I've got an
unreasonable aversion to NYC (probably related to my Chicago
upbringing), let me, from my mountain-view aerie in Colorado suggest
that maybe a Zenato Ripassa would sub very adequately for the Amarone
to baste the bird.

Made in the ripasso style, it is a good simulation of Amarone and at
about $16 US/bottle, can be used to baste freely and lubricate the
cook as well
