Tasted Monday, June 16, 2014 by brigcampbell with 555 views
Tom and Tami put a lot of effort into organizing this dinner. The pairings with the food were perfect. I goofed and didn't take pictures for the first part of the dinner, I know, my bad. I really found this dinner educational because I'm starting to develop my understanding of white burgundies although I have a long way to go. I can't pronounce most of the wines so pointing and grunting seems to work for now.
Dates stuffed with cheese and then wrapped in pork. Hello! The warm pear pieces paired nicely with the champagne.
The most beautiful dish of the tasting. Really need a picture to do this justice. I'm afraid to know what's in this because it looked like a stick of melted butter. Yummy.
Who says you can't pair asparagus! Delicious!
The smoke aromas from the trout was intense and seemed to be a big crowd pleaser.
How did these all turn out perfectly browned. Looked fake.
Thanks to everyone for a terrific evening.

A touch of brioche on the nose with faint pear fruit.
Bubbles where fine and a slight foaming in the mouth. Acid balances the fruit resulting in a clean, slightly dry finish. Good bubbles.
