Tasted Thursday, June 15, 2023 by I'd Rather Be Drinking Wine with 123 views
Dan hosted and Elise and Dan prepared a fantastic 4 course meal to compliment the four courses of wine! Thank you both for such a great time and entertaining us in your new building! The new place will be exquisite when it's finished!
OK...the tasting....our periodic get together to enjoy wines with out comparing them to others...it is nice to sit back, get a nice pour (or a couple of them) and really focus and enjoy each wine! Nothing better than a great view, great friends, great food, and of course, great wines! I don't think life gets much better than that!
Enjoyed this while visiting Dan's new place that he and Elise are having redone...view is spectacular, and one I don't think anyone will ever tire of! Lots of space and windows....can't wait for him to move in and get invited to another get-together! Yes, I am being presumptuous, but why not!?!? Oh, and the Champagne and appetizers were nice too!
Was looking forward to tasting this Chardonnay, and it did not disappoint! Francophiles, keep away....New world drinkers, kick back and enjoy!
Served blind - 20 Questions - Well, what can I say, those guys rocked! Immediately pegged it as right bank and a younger vintage (although did take a couple questions to narrow down the exact vintage)...no one guessed the wine, but as it was not a popular wine nor a well known wine, that was not too surprising...all in all, they did an awesome job!
Another wine get together comes to end...the saying, "Parting is such sweet sorrow" definitely comes to mind! Another lovely tasting and hopeful a little vicarious enjoyment, for you, the reader! Until next time.....Cheers!
NV Champagne Le Mesnil Champagne Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Brut 91 Points
France, Champagne, Champagne Grand Cru
Similar to previous tastings...lots of brioche, tart apple, oyster shell and chalk. A very nice and refreshing Champagne. Great qpr, and would serve as an excellent palate cleanser/refresher, as well as a very good starter wine. Solid 91.
