Gary invited me over to share a few 1995 WA wines with friends. He also mentioned that he might have some nibbles ready. Hah, his idea of nibbles is obscene, as when I arrived there was a full, multi-course menu by the door. His cooking was as inspired as I have ever seen it, and was clearly the highlight of the night along with the fun company. The wines were OK to good. A couple of strong ones and a few weak ones. Most somewhat middle of the road. A tough WA vintage and not one I would still hold much of.
A gorgeous wine to start things off and liven our palates.
Now we broke into a lineup of 1995's, non-blind, with one California wine for perspective.
NV Pierre Péters Champagne Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Cuvée de Réserve
France, Champagne, Champagne Grand Cru
100% Grand Cru. Mmmm bubbles. I need to drink more bubbles. Creamy citrus. Gloriously refreshing. Delightful on its own and a gorgeous foil to a chilled melon soup.
