________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
We sampled some great wines, white and red, which showcased the diversity of Burgundian wines. Favorite white wine was the 2005 "Les Referts", Puligny Montrachet. Favorite red the 2006 Clo Vougeot, followed by the 2005 Chambolle Musigny and the 2002 "La Petit Chapel", Gevrey Chambertin. The 23 year old Nuits St. George was cloudy with sediment but had good dried fruit flavors and was drinkable. The 41 year old Musigny was full of sediment but had a fireplace and smoked meat aroma and a slightly sweet flavor.
Fondue Bourguignonne
plus Escargot, mushroom lasagne and chocolate bread pudding
with a caramel sauce. Also an assortment of French cheeses and meats. Not bad for a Sunday afternoon snack.
Sorry, not this time. ($15,000)
