Introduction

HRH and I are now well into our 13th year of Burgundy Thursday (check post #1), and have yet to miss a week. We’ve had some fun last-minute scrambles over the years. A few favorites include

--sitting in a Moroccan-themed Paris restaurant with a group of our students while the server ransacked the back room for a delightful little Mercurey,

--being given a bottle of Meursault by Nick Peay from his private cellar, who insisted after a late afternoon tasting that we would never find something suitable on short notice,

--dealing with summer flu in the FL Keys and sipping a glass of PYCM Chassagne-Montrachet during a fever lull from the sick bed before collapsing when the fever returned.

--and a wonderful GM at the restaurant at Seelbach Hotel in Louisville, who dug out an aged bottle and sold it to us at cost because he loved the Burgundy Thursday story.

Recently in SC we have been dining at our golf club for Thursday night “Burgers and Brews,” then sipping a Burgundy at home. This week in FL, I have to cook so I’ve decided to do Bambi, Burgundy, and Barbaresco. It isn’t often that I get a chance to cook for our daughter, so I spent a little extra time in the kitchen.
