Chris and Kelsey are getting married this Sunday, May 25th, so we wanted to send them out in style.
Paired with seared bay scallops wrapped in sauteed sweet onion and some goat cheese on the side, pretty good match if I do say so myself.
Grilled veal chops with gorgonzola mashed potatoes and roasted carrots. I had planned to have the Cornas with this, but as a really nice unexpected bonus, Chris brought the '98 Centenary Hill! Two beautiful examples of what can be done with Syrah, right there in front of us.
The wine ended up needing no accompaniment, but Alex's superb pear tart tatin certainly did it no harm.
A great night with good friends, can't wait to have another dinner like this.

Apricot and some mineral, decent acid. Good food wine, enjoyed with a scallop-onion hors d'ouvres. Tasted in a social setting, no detailed notes.
