Our House
Tasted November 27, 2010 by jlgnml with 366 views
Introduction
This has been a tradition in our home with our friends and the kids, who are now all 21 or older. 3 of the 5 were born in 1989 so I opened a few bottles for them to try with Pizza night.
Flight 1 (1 note)
A toast to 15+ years of Pizza nights
White - Sparkling
1989 Veuve Clicquot Champagne Brut La Grande Dame
90 points
Good fruit, clean and dry finish. Better in the glass after a while. Small bubbles.
Flight 2 (2 notes)
All homemade pizza's
Red
1989 Ravenswood Zinfandel Cooke
95 points
Outstanding, old color on the edge, fruit still there including the spiceness of black pepper. It only got better in the glass. Surprised us.
Red
1995 Ravenswood Zinfandel Wood Road-Belloni
92 points
Very dark color, still young, good fruit and black cherry, some pepper, could last longer. Love to drink from magnums
Flight 3 (1 note)
French silk pie and cookies
White - Sweet/Dessert
1989 Château d'Yquem
92 points
Dark amber color, good viscosity, lasting on the palate, apricot, smooth, better after a while in the glass, really began to come together. Age worthy.
Closing
At the end of the evening we moved to the garage for beer pong and a new tradition was born. After the game we finished with a round of fireworks.
