Introduction
Lots of good food and some great wines. Forgive my lack of note taking. You'll have to go with what I remember.
Flight 1 - Starters (2 notes)
These were nice wines for a hot afternoon, but neither was stellar. Neither was finished until the next day.
Flight 2 - Interlude (1 note)
My second Canadian wine and I am again stunned by the quality. This was the surprise of the night for me and probably deserved a score of 89-91 points.
Flight 3 - Main Course (2 notes)
Steak, chicken, vegetables. Both these wines went very well with the meal. The Yon-Figeac was slightly better, probably due to it's age. Probably about 90-92 points each.
Closing
Finished with a bit of armagnac (Napoleon), but I don't have the name handy. It was a little harsh for my taste, but a nice way to end the evening. WOTN was a toss up between the Osoyoos and the Yon-Figeac. I wonder how the Canadian wine would age.
