Room for one more? I may be driving up from Indiana. I might bring 2001 Michel Ganoux,Pommards 1er Grands Epenots , which sounds like it go well with the food or some '05 Clape Cornas though it might be too young?
I had the 05 Clape a couple of months ago. It was very good with braised short ribs but yeah, it’s definitely on the young side. IIRC I did a double decant a few hours before dinner.
My wife Patrice will be joining us. Wines tbd but I am leaning towards 2002 Donnhoff Niederhauser Hermannshohle Riesling Spat (750 ml) and 2001 Muller-Catoir Haardter Burgergarten #2133 Spat (750 ml). A red? Perhaps…CdP…domestic Syrah…domestic Pinot…I don’t know ; )
By the way - does anyone know anyone there to call to make arrangements. I can always do it cold from NY but someone with connections might be a better choice.
I second Jay’s suggestion. I just made a Chicago hotel reservation, which was hard to do at a good price, owing to guess what…the ABA. It might good if someone could step up to the plate as well and reserve for dinner, as conceivably it also could get crowded. (I live in Indiana and have never been to the place.)
