Kudos for Charlie Fu for organizing an offline at the Peking Duck house, for the low low price of $30.00 a person
Wines:
2001 Arcadian Sleepy Hollow, Chardonay
some distinct fruit here, did not “wow” me
2007 Herman Weimer Dry Riesling
nice and crisp, ample fruit and freshness
2000 Kistler McCrea Vineyard, Chardonay
Great balance of fruit and acid, a winner in my book
2001 Kistler Sonoma Coast, Pinot Noir
Excellent aromas and great fruit as well. Kept smelling
it all night
2007 Rivers Marie, Occidental, Pinot Noir
Too young for me, copious amounts of fruit
2005 Peter Michael Le Moulin Rouge, Pinot
Another fruit bomb, IMO.
2006 Kosta Browne, Keefer Ranch, RRV
Not as fruity as I thought it would be, elegant very
different than the 2005
1999 Garaudet Beaune Clos de Mouches
this was stellar, after an hour or so it turned into a
beauty another winner
2006 Kistler, Cuvee Elizabeth, Pinot
no notes
2005 Sine Qua Non, “The Noble man”
Great color, aromas of almonds and toffee, great
sticky
