We decided to mix up a bunch of white wines into flights and give it a go... 23 wines... sushi platters from Umai Umai, and cheese from DiBrunos... as always, a wonderful tasting.
Drank with the sushi platters from a beautiful magnum.
We were thrown for a loop in this flight -- humbling to be so certain... and so wrong... The Aubert was the class of the flight and my dry WOTN.
An OK flight -- still love the Corra, but you can't expect too much from SBs...
Everyone loved the Clos des Papes.. the SQN was more controversioal, with most people coming around to it.
Again, I had the Alsace and Finger Lakes mixed up. A nice blind showing for the Wiemer... until you realize it is probably the most expensive of the flight...
An interesting mish-mash of love it or hate it wines...
Yum yum yum... couldn't decide between the Quarts de Chaume and the Eiswein -- so I took my time comparing them!!!
The Museum Muscat was a class above the rest.
Yes, Madeira is a white wine... Perhaps next time we'll go with a nice old one...
WOTN: 2002 Quarts de Chaume, with the 1999 Donnhoff Eiswein just a tick behind on personal preference. Dry WOTN: 2007 Aubert Lauren
1996 Philipponnat Champagne Brut Clos des Goisses 95 Points
France, Champagne
July Disgorgement, from magnum. Very fine mousse. Green apple and under-ripe strawberry (or the white part of the strawberry) with some interesting raspberry and nutty notes -- raspberry almond danish? Extremely young. Medium (+) acid level is quite refreshing and the finish is nearly as long as any sparkling wine I've had. Very young, but it will be tough to keep my hands off the other two mags...
