Last night my wife and I were invited over to friends for dinner. It was a very nice evening of conversation, music, great food and good wine. We had a great time. I did not take notes, but wrote these up upon returning home. Some very interesting wines, most I had not had before.
We started with a sparkler:
A couple of interesting takes on Chardonnay:
Some very good reds:
A nice way to finish:
NV Mawby Pinot Noir Blanc de Noirs 88 Points
USA, Michigan, Leelanau Peninsula
I think Mawby's sparkling wines are as good as any made domestically. Not sure when this was disgorged. Golden in color, lots of small bubbles. The nose has some strawberries with some baked pastry dough. Clean with a good backbone of acidity. On the palate, there are some scorched red berry flavors, if that makes sense, which I enjoyed quite a bit. Very nice way to start.
