ndian carrots and chickpea/spinach over saffron rice
2019 Edmunds St John Bone Jolly Rose Strawberries and raspberry, strawberry leaves, good acids. B+ 2015 Martin Mullen Trarbacher Huhnerberg Riesling Kabinett Trocken (Mosel). Tangy citrus, tons of acid, good with food, hard without. B On a friends deck Friday. We had gotten a couple of boxes from Blue Hill SB (seafood and garde manger) so brought appetizers from those: Oysters on half shell, ham on amakaze bread with carrot romesco, mussels escabeche Ron made sausage and meatballs on spaghetti, Nancy salad. NV Franco Nero Rustico Prosecco A bit of RS, apple fruit, citrus blossoms. B- 2008 Francois Cotat €śCuls de Beaujeau€ť Sancerre White pit fruits, fresh and young, very stony. Long minerally finish. A- 2010 La Colombina Brunello Di Montalcino Big and ripe., sagging at edges, not a lot of elegance here. B-/C+ 2006 Fontodi Chianti Classico This is big too, but more refined, black cherry and mocha with a bit of leather. B+ Our turn to host a couple of friends, for dinner and then an outdoor showing of €śAede of the Ocean and Land€ť a play by Noor Inayat Khan that was set to music (musicians/actors across 10 time zones, including Betsys quartet). Distanced dining setup: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SQPp4- ... sp=sharing Groundcherry salsa, fennel sausage Fluke tartare with wild arugula (BHSB box) Halibut en papillote, (BHSB) Grilled pork chops, lamb merguez, zucchini grape/giner/goat cheese mousse, chocolate cookies (both BHSB) NV Puech Redon €śPour de Vrai€ť Petillant Nat from Cinsualt, cloudy, lightlyu sweet, but with a bitter note that reminds me of lambic beer. Different and fun. B/B- 2008 Pascal Cotat €śLes Monts Damnes€ť Sancerre Unlike the 08 F Cotat CdB, this seems fully mature. Grapefruit and apple cider, some light oxidative notes, from this bottle at least drink up. Others LOVED. B 2010 F. Carillon €śLes Perrieres€ť Puligny-Montrachet 1er Full, balanced, takes a while to open, light hazelnut notes over a solid pear and citrus base. B+/A- 1982 Ch. La Dominique Recent acquisition, when I touched cork with screw of Durand it slid into bottle. But decanted this turns out just fine. Soft and ready, moderate acids, resolved tannins. Black plum, a little mocha, plenty of cedar. Drinking very well right now. B+/A- Sunday Bluefush dijonais, couscous, Burrata caprese, watercress salad 2018 Leeuwin Artists Series Riesling (Margaret River). Dry, crisp, citrusy (lime).B Grade disclaimer: I'm a very easy grader, basically A is an excellent wine, B a good wine, C drinkable. 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. |

Nice! I wish we had takeout that appetizing ;-) > Distanced dining setup: > https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SQPp4- ... sp=sharing It looks like this link was munged by Google. Nice notes!
