After a remarkable day of tasting Beaucastel with Robert Parker, we spent the afternoon slowly sipping the leftovers in the lobby of the Latham Hotel. (Plus we ended up popping a 375ml of the 2003 Clos des Papes. Man oh man, this was my best taste yet, a full-throttled and fantastic yound wine). And somehow, miraculously, after 4 hours of this we found some appetite and headed out to our planned dinner at 9pm.
Some bubbles to start...
And then a pair of Chave Blancs that was unfortunately cut in half by the cork monster.
Ahhh, now we're onto the great stuff, a series of Chaves and one La Chapelle. Fantastic!
We finished up with a pair of extra wines, and oh boy the last Beaucastel of the weekend may have been the best!
This was a great way to cap off a remarkable weekend.

France, Champagne
I had a quick taste of this bottle that was graciously purchased for the group by Mat Garreton. Then I ceded it to Wendy Collins who was far, far more excited about the wine than I was.
