Will probably open bubles but haven’t picked one and it will likely be an afterthought. Maybe pickup a Schramsberg BdB.
We’re doing prime steaks, and I’m on wine duty for a bunch of relative amateurs, so I’ve picked
a Jordan Cab
“Bedrock” Vino Bambino Pinot Noir
Probably another Bedrock Syrah because Lord knows I’ve got enough of it.
Main NYE wine was last night, as we are going to a large dinner party that will not be winocentric. At a downtown NYC restaurant, where it was not as cheap as their online winelist had it, but still a steal: Truchot '05 CDLR. Still a baby but not shutdown, fascinating, subtle wine. I’ll try to post a proper note in the next few days.
Just had that conversation with the warden, now the debate begins. I do have a veuve that I’ve looking to get rid of and the non geeks will snap it up so I guess I should put that in the refrigerator.
Got a lobster we’ve named “Freddy” who will end up a lobster roll. Also picked up huge king crab legs and a ton of starters. Going to wash it all down with a 99 Salon Blanc de Blanc and a 2002 Billecart Salmon Elisabeth Brut Rose. The kids will enjoy a Sparkling Grape Juice.
