  SAC: Rare Pinot Meunier with Peter Liem (63 Clinton): Again very much the sherry flavor and then also perhaps a bit lemony. A wine that I wouldn't say is quite as hedonistically pleasing as champagne often is but is a bit intellectual.

  This is in a maderized style that many don't understand, but while showing baked apple with caramel notes, it still has a nice mousse with body yet plenty of acidity for a clean finish. Was wonderful as a alternate style and to pair with a mushroom tartlet course.

  Solid and correct showing. Started to lose it's bead and energy after 10-15 minutes.

  BYO Blind Tasting and Dinner (House of Nanda - Chicago IL): Tasted double blind. I thought it quite nice and age appropriate for an unknown (to me) Champagne from this era, but Jim J thought it "barely still drinkable."

  Brought by xhoser to CWM dinner at Adelle's. Initial thought was that this was corked. It was not. Interesting to see VM's note about "without any too much sherry nuances", as I felt sherry was the predominant note in this wine. I remember hearing someone at the table reference "wet socks" as well, but thankfully, I did not get this. This was interesting to experience a 37 year old vintage champy.
