Was invited to a Wednesday afternoon Pinot luncheon with a small group. Kevin and Vicki prepared a great lunch and we proceeded to taste some pretty darn good wines! Thanks to all who brought these wonderful wines, and a special "THANK YOU" to Kevin and Vicki for the appetizers, lunch and hosting this wonderful event....oh, and of course, for inviting me!
One of the reasons I stay in Minnesota is the great group of friends I have made since moving here 22 years ago! Everyone is so nice and so willing to share their passion for wine, open their homes and offer genuine friendship...what more can anyone expect or ask for? Special thanks to Kevin for hosting, and thank you for sharing reading this and allowing me to share my notes and experience with you! Cheers!
2002 Deutz Champagne Cuvée William Deutz 94 Points
France, Champagne
This was a pleasant surprise! The Champagne showed why 2002 was marked as a spectacular vintage. I have not had many Deutz Champagnes, and after drinking this, I don't know why! The wine showed lots of toasted brioche, chalk and spice on the nose, with classic sea shell. The palate was equally nice with with toast, slate, oysters, green apple and some melon and a hint of Meyers Lemon. The fruit and minerality of the Champagne kept you continuously sipping the elixir until it was all gone! Thankfully, it was not a large crowd, and our host graciously poured us more! 94+ and a very good QPR!

2004 Pommery Champagne Cuvée Louise Brut 93 Points
France, Champagne
Another winner! Not quite as good as the 2002 Deutz, but pretty darn close! Nose showed hay/straw, brioche seashell spice and some chalk. Palate showed roasted almonds, yeasty bread, green apple, saline with hints of citrus and spice. Drinking quite nicely! 92+ to 93 for my palate!
