Seven of us gathered for dinner at this venerable Lincoln Park spot. The food was fantastic as usual and the wine not too shabby either. Thanks for all the generous contributions!
What start! Served as an apertif and also with seafood risotto.
With grilled duck breast and Veal Saltimbocca.
With lamb gnocchi.
With Tuscan-styled porterhouse.
With assorted desserts.
1995 Vilmart & Cie Champagne Cuvée Creation
France, Champagne
Aromatic nose of white fruits and yeast. Full bodied on the palate --- a meal in the glass! --- and well balanced by an acidic edge. Nice interplay of bready notes, apples and citrus fruit. Excellent bubbly.

NV Krug Champagne Brut Grande Cuvée
France, Champagne
Nose has fresh apple, pear and ctirus fruits. Palate is crisp, light-to medium bodied and vibrant. Full of zesty citrus fruits and nuts. Lighter-on-its-feet than the 95 Vilmart Creation, but also excellent.
