Our wine tasting group of 16 made a field trip to Bern’s this past weekend. Asked Brad Dixon to pick out wines from France for us to drink blind and he selected:
1985 Hermitage (can’t recall name daggummit) X 3 bottles
2003 Domaine de Beaurnard Savennieres X 3 bottles
1976 Louis Latour “Corton-Grancey” X 2 magnums
1967 St. Pierre Chat du Pape X 2 magnums
1961 Ch. Carbonnieux X 2 magnums
1961 Ch. Troplong Mondot X 2 magnums
Total cost of wine per person, incl tax and gratuity…$176. An absolute steal considering the quality, age, and impeccable provenance of the wines…not too mention the expert service.
As my compatriot put it so crudely, “a visit to Bern’s for any wine lover is like a trip to a day-care center for Michael Jackson”
You owe it to yourself to make a pilgrimmage to this wine Mecca!
