A small gathering, including some old friends and acquaintances as well as new. A generous donation to a local charity. We hosted, and as usual featured classic pairings. We included anniversary and (near) birth year wines for the guests.
We started with a rosé from bordeaux, then sabered a rosé champagne for fun. Perfect pairing with a large cheese plate (+ honey with almonds and yuzu marmalade) and charcuterie.
Fresh kumomotos and kushis, with shredded fresh horseradish and lemon. Perfect pairing.
What champagne to open was my toughest decision. This worked well, but drink up!
Another perfect pairing, and an affordable world-class wine.
I was surprised how good these summer truffles were being so late in the season. Generously shaved on fresh pasta with artery clogging amounts of butter plus Il Poggione Tuscan olive oil.
A perfect end to the evening. The cheese and wine were exquisite, and meant for each other.
It's a lot of work, but we love hosting these wine dinners. They generate generous donations to local charities. It's always fun to share my hobby/obsession, and help the community as well.
2016 Château Le Puy Rose-Marie
France, Vin de France
An unusual rosé. I believe it's Merlot. I really liked this as well as the first bottle I opened months ago. It's a wine that drinks like a cross between a red wine and a rosé. Fresh and delicious, very bold. I've also tried the '18, but my first bottle of that was bretty.

NV Paul Dethune Champagne Brut Rosé

Pinot-heavy NV Rosé. Fresh and delicious, if it's not already my house rosé, it should be.
