As an apertif, the 2009 Pepiere Muscadet was asking for food, but
resigned itself to being tasty on its own. Lemon, a little nectarine,
a mineral edge that reminds one of seashells. Midbodied, very nice. B/B
+

With ribeyes, baked potatoes,and salad, the 1999 Drouhin Gevrey-
Chambertin. A little cellar time has been very good to this village
wine. Red and black cherry, earth, a hint of mushroom. Good acids,
still a bit of tannin, with air more floral notes emerge. Balanced,
ready, great for level B++

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.*
