This was my month to host the rotating dinner series, so I went with the theme of "my favorites". Overall, I thought that the wines I chose showed decently. The Vatan flight was horribly disappointing, and the Foillard's were, not showing as well as they could have.
Nevertheless, it was a fun night with the group. Thanks to the team at Mon Ami Gabi for helping out with dinner. It's a great venue for friendly (and reasonable) wine service.

Another great showing! Beautiful melange of pears, apples, cherries, yeast, and chalk. I love this wine because it's got the bready/yeasty notes I love in champagne, but it doesn't approach the weight of the big houses. A bit lighter on its feet...one of Savart's better cuvees.

Thought this showed well. Bright cherry and orange notes mingled with some rose tones and chalkiness. Great combination of bright fruit and a steeliness. Yum!
