As guests arrived this was enjoyed with some chopped liver (chicken livers, hard boiled egg and onions caramelized in chicken fat; all ground together and seasoned with salt and lots of black pepper).
Our first course was a warm, slightly sweet gefilte fish, and this was followed by matzah ball soup. A nice soup with a double chicken stock, very rich.
The main course was braised brisket, roasted root vegetables and cider braised collard greens with balsamic glazed green apples.
2001 Joh. Jos. Prüm Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Kabinett 90 Points
Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer
This was the first Riesling than rocked my world, and it is always stellar. Edgy, tense, refreshing Kabinett. Moving more towards salt than it did three years ago. No real diesel in play. Just pure, crystalline acidity. Still plenty of fruit, maybe still a bit reticent. With 6 down and 8 to go I think I am going to star slurping these more regularly.
