essb -> Question about: 1989 Hugel et Fils Tokay Pinot Gris Vendange Tardive (8/12/2008 8:44:26 PM)

I have a bottle of 1989 Hugel et Fils Tokay Pinot Gris Vendange Tardive  in my cellar. Any suggestions?  Is it primarily a dessert wine, or should I serve with something very rich, like a foie gras or ?  I just hope I haven't left it too late!

It will be on the sweet side (vendage tardive= late harvest, botryritized grapes) though with some secondary characteristics.  You can serve it either way ( foie gras, dessert) or both.  I wouldn't pair it with a chocolate dessert, though.  Let us know how it is.

Thanks, much appreciated.  Will post an update when I open it, as have been anticipating it for some years!

Foie gras should be beautiful
