I realize Father’s Day is still 3 days away and most have probably not thought about what they will drink for their meal. As it is my day and I will be sharing a feast with my mom who I inherited my gourmand genes from, want to pop open a few special ones. Going to a very nice local dinner buffet with a huge raw bar. Best part is $3 per person corkage.
For starters and with the seafood going to try my 1st btl of 2012 Chartogne Taillet Les Barres
Then for a big red leaning towards either a 2013 Bedrock Exposition or a 2004 Angelus
Either a '96 Jadot Clos St Jacques or an '08 Chateau Rayas CdP. If the latter, I’d appreciate suggestions for decanting, breathing, and so on. My first and only.
Tonight, 16 D&R familiar, followed by (more than likely) 13 Limerick Lane Petite Sirah and coravin’d glasses of 05 Suduiraut Sauternes for dessert.
Tomorrow a 14 Sandlands napa chenin and 13 Carlisle Derivative at the resort pool (weekend staycation here in AZ) and then a 13 Carlisle Pagani and an 09 Bedrock Heirloom.
Sunday…some sort of champers (maybe 97 Cristal??) Followed by something absolutley awesome that I haven’t decided on.
All the while spending time with my lovely wife and amazing (well…most of the time 7 and 5 year old kids. Yeah…life is good!!
