My actual birthday dinner having been postponed by kids with nasty
stomach bugs, (Adele and I went out for a good sushi), we're making it
up in more rustic fashion tonight at the farm. Pigeons and morels each
procured, (pigeons are local but God knows where the morels come from),
the plan is for aforementioned in Armagnac.

Possible choices are pretty wide, if all French, and would maybe
featu 88/89 Clos du Lambrays (not sure which year is left), 90-ish
Hermitage or maybe slightly older Cornas (I think there's some 85
kicking about), some sort of CdP from the same period, 86 Beaucastel?
Various Bordeaux, an 83 Figeac that might be nice now, or there's some
'85 Clerc Milon whos time probably come.

In short, not sure what direction to go in. Help!

TIA

I like older burgundy with pigeon but a well aged Bordeaux will
probably work as well.

Good choice. Pigeon and Burgundy is one of my all-time favorite
combinations.

choice.
