Tasted Monday, January 28, 2019 by Rollerball with 540 views
Paul Einbund put together an unforgettable meal, series of wine pairings, and all-around experience with Rajat Parr and Jordan Mackay in honor of their new book "The Sommelier's Atlas of Taste."
So fun to hear them and the other somms blind taste through several glasses, revealing their processes, their stunning level of skill and knowledge, and also how in blind tastings even they can get it wrong.
Rajat Parr bind tasted and called an exact wine: producer, specific bottling, and age range. I've heard it happens but to have him walk us through it live--and then get it right!--was just nuts. Paul's #2 in the wine program (with a fraction of the experience of Parr) also came close and it was just as fascinating to walk through her thought process, in both cases while we tasted the same wine.
NV Jean-François Ganevat Crémant du Jura Nature non dosé 90 Points
France, Jura, Crémant du Jura
Herbal and round with nectarine and slight oxidative notes; pairs just beautifully with smoked trout.

2015 Jérôme Prévost Champagne La Closerie Extra Brut Les Beguines 92 Points
France, Champagne
Precise but broad, intellectual and quietly voluptuous; this features grapefruit and a touch of yeast on the bouquet and sweaty, crisp flavors of strawberry-celery sorbet and a little meyer lemon.
