JP's American Bistro, Minneapolis
Tasted Tuesday, December 4, 2007 by Siggy with 1,257 views
Our regular tasting group met at JP's American Bistro on a snowy Tuesday evening to share some Lynch Bages. In attendance were Dave Dalluge, myself, Chris Larson, Brad England, Chris Palm, Steve Orloff, and Brad Weiss. We opened 9 vintages in mini-flights of two, all tasted non-blind. We reversed our usual serving order by starting with the youngest and finishing with the oldest, which seemed to work very well. The service and food were excellent, and we had plenty of wine to share with chef JP Samuelson and the waitstaff. JP's paprika fries, calamari, pizzas, and perfectly prepared seared hanger steaks with hoisin sauce matched beautifully with the wine. I loved both the 1989 and 1990 and picked both as my co-wines of the night.
2003 Peter Michael Chardonnay La Carrière 93 Points
USA, California, Sonoma County, Knights Valley
Deep gold. Unctuous, floral, and honeyed. Ripe tropical fruit and well-integrated oak. There was a nice streak of minerality running from the midpalate through the finish. Delicious.
