Tonight with the coq au vin, 05 Savigny-Les-Beaune "Les Lavieres" Louis Chenu Père et Filles

It's a very happy tradition--Cheers to all!

Status: offline 		Finally home from Thanksgiving dinner at the Clampetts. Burgundy Thursday this week will just be a parade of kirs, made with my only remaining Creme de Cassis from a previous Beaune trip. Time to save for new plane tickets.

Status: offline 		Mini offline with dontime at The Wine Barn in Orlando (missed you Chris--HRH drank your share). 05 Chanbolle-Musigny Vv, Vincent Girardin, plus assorted glasses poured by a visiting peddler man.
Girardin had lots of barnyard (Brett?) And still a little heavy handed on the oak, Vincent. Still an enjoyable bottle and great company.
Don't worry about next week Old Doug--I'm still standin'

Nice, making my beef burgundy tomorrow with a bottle of 1991 Vosnes Romanee (Daniel Bocquenet) I found in my grandma's cellar a few month back.

The Vosne Romanee is not used for the sauce, a cheap $6 Burgundy from Trader Joes will do the job.
