My first CdB dinner
All the reds were double decanted and held off from serving for at least a couple hours.
Hors d'oeuvres of:
Tomato Bruschetta
Crispy Coconut Shrimp
Baked Potato Skins with Sour Cream & Caviar
Pan Seared Crab Cake with Roasted Tomato, Mustard Aioli
First time I can recall having a dry semillion wine, this was very enjoyable and something I would like to continue exploring especially with other seafood like the crab cake
Grilled Petit Filet Mignon with Roasted Mushrooms, Sauce Bearnaise
The La Lagune stood out here, far more refined and enjoyable. Not sure if with time the balance with change between the two producers / wines, but this was clear.
Bread from Zak the Baker with Brie d'Isigny (Normandy, France) and Gran Reserva Iberico (La Mancha, Spain)
The 2009 Chateau d'Armailhac took the show here. The 2010 was great but still tight and with a lot of structure that needs time to unwind and be assimilated better. And the Grand Puy Ducasse was a close second.
The 2009 Chateau d'Armailhac was the winner for me as well as the experience of a delicious dry semillion from Chateau Climens.
NV Delamotte Champagne Brut 90 Points
France, Champagne
Very enjoyable. Nice champagne
