There are times that I love to pair individual wines with individual dishes and there other times when I would like to see what the full evolution of a
bottle is like with time and air and a waltz through varied courses. Listed below are a few wines that would hold my attention with our menu at this
moment in the season. – Tony Foreman
Resolve to drink more Champagne in the new year – Geoffroy “Ier Cru - Volupté” Brut 2006 (Bin 654) is a wine of great fortitude that will
develop beautifully throughout your meal.
Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru, Domaine Rollin 2006 (Bin 2219) is drinking at its peak. It shows all the power of 2006.
Condrieu, François Villard “Le Grand Vallon” 2010 (Bin 2153) is incredibly perfumed and generous
We purchased a limited number of 2007 reds from Burgundy and I am very happy with how the wines are showing right now.
Bandol, Domaine Tempier “Cabassaou” 2003 (Bin 2252x) A wine of deep, dark sun-fueled power – perfect for the coldest moment of winter.
White Rose “Guillen Vineyard” (Dundee Hills) 2011 (Bin 2526) Pretty lusty structured Burgundian style first class Oregon Pinot from a great site.
