Major Domo

Got some bottles of pristine 74-77 Heitz Martha's with beautiful fills and color from original owner. Set up a dinner at Major Domo - the new hotness in DTLA and went at it.
Started off with an absolutely CURSED bracket of wine. Had the 77 Roulot Perrieres off the list (it was delicious when we had it last time at Major Domo) but this one was oxidized. Moved onto the 87 Eyrie Reserve Chardonnay.. also oxidized. I opened a 78 Schramsberg Blanc de Blanc ... oxidized. FINALLY I pulled out a 93 Raveneau Butteaux with AMAZING color and fill that I KNEW wouldn't be oxidized....
but it was corked.
We all cursed our luck and hoped the red wine flight would be better. Fortunately I had double decanted everything (but the 75, that was from another attendee) and they were all sound. WHEW.

Much higher fill than the last bottle, but unfortunately it was completely oxidized.

1987 The Eyrie Vineyards Chardonnay Reserve Flawed

Straight from the domaine and reconditioned. Unfortunately the bottle was SHOT. It was all oak and alcohol on the palate, zero fruit. Never really opened up.
