Introduction
Lots of good food and some great wines. Forgive my lack of note taking. You'll have to go with what I remember.
Flight 1 - Starters (2 Notes)
These were nice wines for a hot afternoon, but neither was stellar. Neither was finished until the next day.
Flight 2 - Interlude (1 Note)
My second Canadian wine and I am again stunned by the quality. This was the surprise of the night for me and probably deserved a score of 89-91 points.
Flight 3 - Main Course (2 Notes)
Steak, chicken, vegetables. Both these wines went very well with the meal. The Yon-Figeac was slightly better, probably due to it's age. Probably about 90-92 points each.
Closing
Finished with a bit of armagnac (Napoleon), but I don't have the name handy. It was a little harsh for my taste, but a nice way to end the evening. WOTN was a toss up between the Osoyoos and the Yon-Figeac. I wonder how the Canadian wine would age.

France, Languedoc Roussillon, Vin de Pays d'Oc
Good, not great. The fruit was just not enough for me.

2008 Domaine de Rome Sancerre 85 Points
France, Loire Valley, Upper Loire, Sancerre
Nice, light. Nothing special, but a good wine. A little too much sweetness on the finish for me.
