Heavenly match lobster & '95 Pinot Auxerrois

[Ron_Kramer]

Pulled an orphan '95 Blanck Pinot Auxerrois VV to serve with a pound of chicken lobster tails and linguine with a sauce of butter garlic and parsley, a great match. The petrol and minerality cut the butter perfectly, who knew?

had to look up chicken lobster–thought it a bizarre term–used for lobsters weighing between one and two lbs. Never had red with lobster!

Pinot Auxerrois is white, though. Never heard of drinking it this old.

Pinot Auxerrois (now just Auxerrois in Alsace) is a white grape.

Either had I but good storage and a great bottle seemed to be a match I haven’t hadn’t seen in awhile. Great surprise, also Joyce consumed much more then is her normal

Oh. Guess I should have looked that up, too.

I think both Blanc and Auxerrois have sneaky aging potential. Why not?

It is Paul BLANCK and VV vines. Wine was a lovely amber and no must on the nose.
