Blind tasting and guessing dinner.
We were not told the theme, but as a hint, the host said that vintages were important.
Our host was celebrating his birthday.
Lobster Bisque
Beef Wellington with Bernaise Sauce, Roasted Sweet Potatoes and Baby Spinich Risotto
Birthday Cake
The theme was "Are there Bad Vintages?" - and the answer is no, when you drink amazing producers.
2012 Veuve Clicquot Champagne Brut La Grande Dame
France, Champagne
Tasted blind - from flute. Great color and bubbles, but not much on the nose at first. Slight salinity, light flour/bready/yeasty profile. Some lemon. After about 30 minutes, and warming a little, the green apple nose came through. Guessed a 2006 billecart salmon Nicolas Francois cuvée.
