My place, Kent Street

I pulled four wines out of the cellar to run by KC as potential supper matches and for her continuing education. We tried all of them against each course to see which worked best…The results are below
Smoked beef rib - the St Joseph for the meat and the Cornas for the lovely charry bits on the outside!
Oxtail & Pork neck stew with Paris Mash
And this poor fellow didn't really match to any of the food…
Lovely night! The smoked beef rib was courtesy of Vic's and the stew and mash from my own fair hand. The wines were all quite different but, fortunately, in reasonably nick - though I still feel the Clemencet was a bit forward.
2012 Pierre Gaillard St. Joseph Clos de Cuminaille
France, Rhône, Northern Rhône, St. Joseph
Herbaceous, pretty berries, green and black peppercorns. Fresh and juicy on the palate. Really lovely.

2005 Tardieu-Laurent Cornas Vieilles Vignes
France, Rhône, Northern Rhône, Cornas
Dense, meaty, funky with farmyard touches and plenty of black fruits and cream. Equally dense on the palate with plenty of dark fruits.
