Before I went to Tuscan tasting Friday (separate notes), I had dinner

Chicken bouillabaise? Whassat?

David has said that he doesn't get much good Asian food in Scotland.
So tonight Betsy (with Dave's help) made jantaboon (stir fried beef
with fresh rice noodles) and kanah namman hoi (Chinese broccoli with
mushrooms, Betsy used white beech mushrooms). I opened the 2006
Catherine & Pierre Breton "Trinch!" Bourgueil. Whoo hoo. My favorite
version of this to date. Black cherries and berrries, a little
woodbark, some tobacco and spice. This is ripe but with good acidity.
Good length, food-friendly, juicy and slurpable. Great for what it
is., this is definitely a buy more. B++

Good to hear about the '06 Trinch! We quite liked the '05 around here,
so if the '06 proves to be even better, it'll be quite a hit. The
dishes that Betsy made are Vietnamese?

Thanks for the interesting notes.
