Last night, my wife and i were joined by our friends Robert and Carrie for dinner at one of our favorite downtown restaurants. It was a casual meal that lasted 4 hours ass we ate, talked, drank and laughed! Very comfortable, the food and service were great, as for the wines:
A nice starter. Served with a spoonful of some Amuse Bouche (it was very good).
With fried Brussels sprouts and then vindaloo cauliflower.
Bates farm heirloom greens rigatoni and HOUSE VINEGAR, MACKENZIE CREAMERY GOAT CHEESE, MODERN EGG & BLACK WALNUTS
Apple chai cake MAPLE SESAME BUTTER CREAM, CHAI STREUSEL & RATTAN APPLE
and Buttered popcorn pot de crème CARAMEL, SEA SALT
Robert and Carrie, we need to do this more often. We had a great time. Thanks.
NV Laurent-Perrier Champagne Cuvée Rosé Brut 92 Points
France, Champagne
Salmon/orange in color. The nose is big with very nice strawberries, orange peel, some ginger and rhubarb. Lots of small bubbles. On the palate, there is a lot of red fruit; strawberries, cherries and slight citrus notes. A nice mineral streak. Good acidity. Very round yet enough cut to work alone and with some food. Really tasty. Going back after dinner, it had opened a little more. There is some value here in the Rose world too.
