The Grill Room at Capella Hotel Georgetown
Tasted Sunday, July 7, 2013 by dcwino with 704 views
It was a hot summer day but eight of us organized another lazy Sunday dinner to drink some rhones. Justin was a bit under the weather so seven of us gathered in the grill room at Capella hotel. We were seated at the semi-private dining room which was almost cellar temperature, perfect for drinking rhone wines. The wine service was perfect and the food was also exceptional. The restaurant was mostly empty and we had the place all to ourselves which was really nice.
We started around 4:30 but the dinner lasted until 9. I had to leave early but most of the brethren moved on to the bar for a nightcap. This was another memorable dinner sharing great wines amongst the great friends.
NV Krug Champagne Brut Rosé 96 Points
France, Champagne
Vinous nose, as usual more copper than pink, strawberry, raspberry essence and ginger. Lovely medium weight, delicately sweet, not too acidic and ethereal palate. Krug NV Rose is always consistent and provides immediate gratification. Serious yet easy to enjoy.
