Riverpark

Not entirely sure if there was a specific reason for this dinner other than folks thought it would be a good idea to congregate and they were quite right. Perhaps because Riverpark has a no corkage policy on Tuesdays which worked to our advantage.
An amazing line-up - one wine better than the last. As an SQN junkie I have to say that was my favorite, but there wasn't a bad one in the line-up (note there was a also a Chablis but as I was pacing myself I opted to pass).
NV Jacques Selosse Champagne Exquise Sec
France, Champagne
This wine paired perfectly with my entire meal (a burrata and then a crab salad) unlike some of the heavier reds we had later (didn't do the best job of ordering). It continues to impress me with just how light on its feet it is. The bubbles literally melt in your mouth. Get this rock candy like flavor, but one which has been dumbed down a bit so the sweet isn't overpowering. Nice acidity (but not as pronounced as the last bottle I had which made me wonder on aging). Still - got an extra this time to sit down for some years. Best demi-sec I've ever had.
