Another birthday, another great dinner.
Jason did smoked and grilled tri-tip and picanha. To quote Adam, some of the best meat he has ever tasted!
The meal was centered around 6 bottles from the "amazing cellar" in Minneapolis, just stunning Bordeaux.
A nice troika as we mingled and everyone arrived.
This was the lesser flight, although 2 of 3 were stellar.
Just unreal. I put in scores as just a measure of calibration. Any one bottle would be a wine experience of a lifetime. The three together were just beyond and such wonderful expressions of each.
Shifting gear to have with the meal.
The 2000's are really going to be wonderful in time.
These appeared as we were having some of Tracy's amazing chocolate chip cookies. Just going to say, amazing pairing!
Wow, what an evening of food and wine, just remarkable.

France, Champagne
Started a bit funky, improved with air. Was a bit tired though, not quite what I was hoping for.

1996 Pol Roger Champagne Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill
France, Champagne
Probably my favorite of the three champagnes. This was in a simply PERFECT place. Nice secondary elements, still plenty of tension and energy. Delicious.
