Veteran's Day
A little dinner with some old friends last night. That is to say the other fellows at the table were seasoned veterans of the wine game: Harold Applebaum, Jerry Magnin, Tom Rykoff, Joe Smith, Jim Craig...and me and Christian N. at Eric Greenspan's The Foundry on Melrose. Just another Wednesday night.
The Rundown:
1988 Salon Le Mesnil
1997 Bouchard Montrachet
1996 Marcassin Marcassin Vineyard Chardonnay
1976 Arnoux Romanee St. Vivant
1991 Jayer Vosne Romanee Cros Parantoux
1953 Cheval Blanc
1959 Latour
1975 Mouton Rothschild
and a Sauternes that had gone decidedly south.
