The non-Pinot reds were double decanted for 3-5 hours. The pairs were served double blind in side by side Riedel Gourmet glasses.
Local smoked salmon was the featured match
Smoked hazelnuts
Minted goat cheese
Iberico pork loin
The best cheese in the world came from this creamery! No kidding!
The big hitters were always picked as fave by the group but, with the exception of the SLIGHTLY tainted Bordeaux, we'd all take the multiple cheaper bottles over one $$$ bottle!
2017 King Estate Pinot Gris Paradox 90 Points
USA, Oregon
So the "King Estate" is upside down and they oaked it a bit, the paradox is paying $30 for a Pinot Gris! Lots of $20 versions of PG could compete. That said, it's a fine wine with white stone fruit, melon, white citrus, beeswax, oak, saline and modest florals. Nice acidity helps it stand up to a rich brie en croute. Now-2022.
