That was a lot of fun last night.
Great wines and food paired well with a great group of people!
The Solstice, opened just as we finished the Grand Dame, was seriously overshadowed, but given time it stood well on its own.
The Montrachet was excellent. Chardonnay isn’t my favorite white wine but I enjoyed this.
The California and St Emilion wines were like variations on a theme. My favorite was the Peby Faugeres.
The Barolo was mature and full of complexity. Very nice.
In addition to the wines listed above we also enjoyed a nice bottle of 2000? Beaucastel CdP right before moving on to dessert.
The Tokaji was excellent with both desserts - Crème Brulee and Chocolate Pot de Crème.
In conversation we discovered many things in common with our table mates. I learned something interesting about Foley history in Ireland from Kevin.
My wife used to work with a cousin of Andrea S., whose husband had been a co-worker of mine at a past job.
Small world indeed.
