Well for starters our fridge died on Wednesday.
But then on Thursday he brought Scott’s BBQ from Hemmingway, SC.
1999 Robert Ampeau & Fils Volnay 1er Cru Santenots
2007 Domaine Ghislaine Barthod / Barthod-Noëllat Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Véroilles
2001 Maison Roche de Bellene Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Les Pruliers
The world-famous Scott’s BBQ is whole hog and not heavily sauced so the wines worked quite well. The NSG was WOTN.
Tonight is pizza (really mixed flatbreads) night. We’ll drink pretty well too.
Saturday is evolving but we still have some local strawberries, plus the blackberries, blueberries, peaches and local beans are in season.
and local shrimp.
and the butcher is cutting some bone-ins with lots of deckle for me.
Always fun to see and drink with Back Road Bob. Have fun! Cheers, Bob

How was the 2012 Gassier? As much as I dislike what Cambie has brought the Southern Rhone reds, I have to admit liking this sexy white. Had not tried the '12 yet.
Yup, from top to bottom of this guy’s portfolio.
