Dinner last night was a bit delayed due to a dog-training session, but we
finally sat down to a delicious chicken with mustard, rice with mushroom and
chicken livers, and beans in a butter sauce. Along with dinner we had the 2001
Lafarge Bourgogne Passetoutgrains. I've never had a Passe-tout-grains (hyphens?
no hyphens?) that really impressed me, but Lafarge is a favorite producer, so
had decided it was worth $12 to try. Very light color, but great depth of
flavor. Raspberry and bittersweet cherry fruit, good pure flavors, nice
finish. Light pretty wine that was very food-friendly. I was told 50/50 Pinot
Noir/Gamay from 50 yr old vines. $12 on Zachy's website this week, I ordered
more first thing this AM. B+/A-
Now I'm looking forward to trying the Lafarge Aligote (never actually had a
Lafarge white, that I can recall).

Grade disclaimer: I'm a very easy grader, basically A is an excellent wine, B
a good wine, C mediocre at best. Anything below C means I wouldn't drink at a
party where it was only choice.

So who ended up learning more - you or the dog (believe me, it could go either
way)?

Well, even though we've only had her a month, she's already got us pretty
well-trained. But we're working hard at changing that. The good thing is she's
really smart. The bad thing is she's really smart
Bassets are notoriously stubborn, but with consistency we've started to make
inroads.
