1990 Krug Champagne Vintage Brut 96 Points
France, Champagne
My fav of the Krug's(76,90,96,00) for the day. Unreal acidity to freshen the ripe green apple, pear fruit...little smoke, right amount of caramel, ox...very complex. Loved this!

1976 Krug Champagne Vintage Brut 93 Points
France, Champagne
So great to try this...plenty fresh lemon citrus, tiny bubbles, to go along with the strawberry farm cream, nuttiness.....very complex...but the sherryness got to me at the end of the glass...wanted to go back to the '90!

1989 Gagnard-Delagrange Montrachet 97 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Montrachet Grand Cru
From mag. another amazing wine to me....I couldn't believe how fresh and alive this 23 yr old was! Seemed like 4 or 5 yrs old? Crisp apple, pear fruit, little menthol, caramel green apple, crushed limestone, honey butter....now I know how great a perfectly aged white burg should be!

1999 François Raveneau Chablis Grand Cru Valmur 89 Points
France, Burgundy, Chablis, Chablis Grand Cru
Man this wine didn't hit me right...my palate might have been too calibrated to the Monty's! It seemed very lite, almost watery to me...and some weird bubblegum thing? I did like the sea air, and the lemon chiffon, crushed minerals...but boy was I wanting to get back to the Monty's.

2000 Krug Champagne Vintage Brut 92 Points
France, Champagne
The first wine of what would become an epic day....good dose of crisp lemon, green apple acidity..mineral crunch..caramel mousse...tasty, but after having the '96,'90,'76 later on in the day...the 00 was knocked down a bit, and not as complex.

1999 Marcassin Chardonnay Three Sisters Vineyard 93 Points
USA, California, Sonoma County, Sonoma Coast
Served blind....youthful, bright yellow, tropical fruit, vanilla oak with some toffee...but completely balanced well with big fresh acidity, crushed minerals, smoked honey. Little more sweetness in this...but I think it's all in there, and should age well for quite awhile.

2002 Domaine Dujac Echezeaux 93 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Echezeaux Grand Cru
I wish I would have spent more time on this...why didn't I?? Dark berries, beautiful dusty spices/florals, licorice, herbs...bright acid but seemed a little closed to me, as I couldn't coax out the greatness of GC Dujac.

Blind....sweet ripe fruit, stems, very nice dark candied spice, beautiful florals, smooth feel, but a little heat to the finish. Seems to have the sweetness and structure to age quite awhile.

France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru
Last wine of the lunch...and totally geared me up for dinner later on in the day with tons more GC white burgs! SO SO good...the perfect integration of freshness and aged complexity.......pitted fruit, green apple, lemon...smoked honey, white flowers....nice healthy weight, chalky feel...exotic with the sweet sulfur funk, crushed minerals, salted caramels....but laser beam citrus acid freshness.....killer!
