Last night my wife and I met our friends Tom and Kathy for dinner at one of our favorite local places. As is our habit, we brought way too many wines, sampled them all and left the remains for the staff. We told the staff to just bring us food and left it in their hands. I brought the whites and dessert, Tom brought the reds. Great night. So many laughs, great food and stories.
A bubbly to start:
A couple of whites:
Some Bordeaux:
B2K second labels:
And dessert:
Can't wait to do it again.
2004 Bollinger Champagne La Grande Année 94 Points
France, Champagne
Always delicious. Great way to start an evening. Light golden in color. Lots of small bubbles. The nose is slightly nutty but also some fresh pears. On the palate, this seems to be at peak. Lots of pears and depth, but also just a bit of nuttiness that is delicious. Layers of complexity. Very good acidity. Going back later in the evening, it had really opened up.
