Default TN: Prosecco and Chablis

Tuesday Betsy and I both had full days, I suggested crock pot, but we
still had niece and nephew who are pesce-vegetarians with us. So found
a recipe for "Athenian shrimp", where you make a tomato sauce and then
add shrimp and feta at end (and we added white beans). With a "Greek
salad", and the 2007 Bisson Prosecco del Colli Trevigiani. A regular
cork, this is just lightly petillant. Apples and citrus fruit,
mineral, more rocky than fruity. Nice wine. B+/B

Sister-in-law brought back lobsters as thanks for watching kids, so we
had steamed lobsters, a quinoa/bean salad, and the 2002 Domaine Fevre
"Fourchaume - Vignoble de Vaulorent" Chablis 1er last night. In drink
up queue because lots of reports of PremOx in this bottling, but this
was doing quite well, no signs of age at all, a rather fleshy and full
bodied Chablis. Lemon, apple, just a hint of flowers and vanilla.
Long finish. Stony, not sure I'd have picked as Chablis blind, seems
like a leaner Puligny. Excellent in any case. A-

Grade disclaimer: I'm a very easy grader, basically A is an excellent
wine, B a good wine, C mediocre. Anything below C means I wouldn't
drink at a party where it was only choice. Furthermore, I offer no
promises of objectivity, accuracy, and certainly not of consistency.*

I'm drinking a glass of the 2006 of the same wine as I write this.
Plenty of limestone minerality and lot's of lemony citrus. Quite lean
but very good Chablis.
