Les Degustateurs Old World vs New World

This was Ed's turn to start the new season and he had us drive up to his beautiful home. The weather was outstanding, not hot not cold and the evening was a great way to welcome in the new season. Chef Breanna Beike provided the food and matched the flights extremely well. My wine notes were very limited and all wines were served blind and without areation.
