2009 Congruence Cabernet - Outstanding and classy as always with sous vide prime rib and spinach Madeleine.

Notes posted on both
2008 Cristal - delicious, for my daughter
2016 Myriad Dr. Crane Elysian - hedonistic, to get the kids attention
1983 Pichon Lalande - mature and refined, to bring the meal together
NV Billecart Salmon Rose- big and beautiful
2014 Rochioli Rachaelās Chardonnay- complex and mature
2003 Yquem- perfect finish!
1989 Sociando-Mallet with standing rib roast
2012 Agrapart Venus
1995 Ampeau Meursault Perrieres
2005 Mugnier Clos de la Marechale
We had a 2011 EMH Black Cat cab with ribeyes.
We drank a bunch of Oregon wines during Hanukkah, so went German on Christmas Eve and Christmas day.
Martin Muellen 2018 Mosel Riesling Revival Trocken - a dry Qba that keeps making you go back for another taste. A good wine that becomes almost stunning when paired with poached sole.
Hermann Ludes 1995 Thoernicher Ritsch Riesling Auslese - luscious pineapple and stones. Outstanding wine but it fought for attention with the brown butter scallops at Christmas lunch. Pair with smoked fish so it can shine on its own.
Ziereisen 2016 Schulen Blauer Spaetburgunder - an excellent wine, dense, fruity with good complimentary acid to accompany Christmas night mushroom risotto. Great qpr, I think this can age nicely for the mid-term as well.

2010 Grand Puy Lacoste. It was so good.
Flannery Club Roast.
Great pairing.
1999 DāAngerville - Volnay - Taillepieds.
Everything everyone has said about the '99s being shut down seems to be true.
