This was the annual white truffles and Nebbiolo of a long-standing Bordeaux group in NYC. I was fortunate that a seat opened up, and I was able to make it.
The wine theme was 1971 Barolo and Barbaresco at 50 years of age.
Photos and more details can be found on my website.

We had Peruvian Purple, German Butterball, and Kennebec.
With slow-cooked, soft scrambled eggs with shaved white truffle.
With homemade tajarin [made with 31 egg yolks in a kilo of flour] with white truffle-infused butter.
With short ribs braised in red wine, served over polenta with roasted asparagus on the side.
With the short ribs.
With the short ribs.
Two homemade pavlovas (made from leftover egg whites – see tajarin, above): One chocolate, one coffee.
On the whole, the older wines were a mixed bag. What should have been the two best wines (the 1971 Giacosa Barbaresco and the 1971 G. Mascarello Barolo) didn't live up to previous tastings. OTOH the Cavallotto, the two Produttori del Barbaresco Barbarescos, the Marcarini, the Massolino, and the two younger Giacosa Barolos were excellent. The 1971 Oddero Barbaresco was also a nice surprise. And the Bartolo Mascarello Barolo Chinato was wonderful.
