I've been asked to host a dinner party and selec wines for the various
courses. Any thoughts would be of value. We will be starting with sparkling wine....the catch to all of this is all wines must be old world due to a claimed yeast allergy to new world wines...hmmmm. Snacks of Foie Gras on toast, seared Ahi tuna, Praline bacon (new rage in the Sates) 1st: Lobster Salad with Sorrel, Tarragon, Celery and Buttermilk dressing 2nd: Sof Shelled Crab with Fava Beans and Red Peppers 3rd: Magre Duck Breast with Roasted Fennel and Maple-Soy reduction 4th: Waygu Beef Ribeye with Morels and Chantrelles. |

Mmmm... Younger Bordeaux or older Nebbiolo? A top notch Cab Franc from the Loire wouldn't be bad, either, I'd guess. Sounds like a great dinner, Bill. I can't wait to hear what you go with and how it turns out. Have fun! Mark Lipton -- alt.food.wine FAQ: http://winefaq.cwdjr.net |

Anyway, I'll play. I think all of Mark's suggestions would work well. But of course I have further thoughts: for the foie gras, ahi, bacon candy combo, I agree with sparkling, but would go rose bubbly Bubbly would also work for the lobster course. Chablis might, the dressing is big question mark For crab, bigger framed Sancerre? Or if you like the people enough, break out a Dagueneau? I have trouble with sweeter sauces on duck, I think Mark is pretty good. For beef, Bordeaux, Barolo, or Chinon would be fine. But let's don't forget Burgundy is beef country, and we know Bill has a good stock of some sturdier/more assertive Burgs. I think those could stand up to the beef, and match well with the mushrooms. Allergy to NW yeasts? Classic! |

I guess it's the difference beween indigeous yeast and cultured yeasts? Thanks for the ideas....I like the Cru Beaujolais with the duck and I have plenty of older Gaja's to choose from for the beef. |

Classic!- Hide quoted text - > > - Show quoted text - I like the idea of Dagueneau Silex with the crab....I think the Pur Sang is too grapefruity and austere. My wife wants a break from Burgs so it could be a Gaja night. I have some Geoffroy Rose that I will open with the starters. |

Let's say that a Mosel vintner for some reason would employ cultured yeasts from New Zealand? Best, Anders |

Just being the "devil's advocate"...it is possible that there is a difference between cultured selected indigenous yeasts and naturally occuring indigenous yeasts given that there are a large number of variations among the different strains of Sacchoromyces cerevisa? I know that certain strains are used to obtain higher alcohol levels or to gain certain flavor profiles. |
