Christianne's Place in SF
Tasted Saturday, May 30, 2009 by tonyvelebil with 692 views
Last night we gathered at Christianne's place for a Chablis and White Burgundy dinner spurred on by the phone call I received a few weeks ago informing me I had some 02 Chablis owed to me by Hart Davis Hart...Traci and Christianne cooked and I have to say, it may have been their finest dinner yet. Just amazing. The wine, the company and the food were all tremendous. We started with a crab salad on "Pop Chips", then had scallops with lettuce butter sauce, then Linguini with mussels in mussel-garlic broth, then squid ink risotto, then hazelnut dusted monchong with hazelnut beurre blanc then some cheese...

We needed something to kick off the evening and while Traci and Christianne cooked and prepped. Christianne picked this up for about $22 and it is well worth the price. Nose shows a little flinty gun metal, minerals, lemon curd and roasted nuts. The palate is a little lean but crisp with more minerals, lime skin, a touch of honeysuckle. Finish is a little on the short side and it could use a little more palate weight but again a very tasty Chablis PC for the price.

With the Seguinot just about killed, I got a little taste of this wine (it was purchased mostly to cook with). Fairly light and simple with a some citrus fruit, seashell and maybe a little nuttiness. All in all a pretty straightforward wine that is a pleasure to drink and at $11 won't break the bank.
