at The Chef’s Table at the Edgewater Hotel<\/p>\n

November\u00a014, 2015 at 6pm<\/p>\n

This month’s theme is trivial: simply sort out\u00a0each set of three wines, blind.<\/p>\n

\"ws2015nov\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The first flight turned out to be the worst flight of three wines we’d ever tasted! The low fill Cheval was definitely foul, and the Burgundy wasn’t much better.<\/p>\n

Flight 2 featured three wines that were extremely varietal and easy to identify blind, and the best example of 1964 BV GDLTPR I’ve had.<\/p>\n

Flight 3 was a shocker. The Petrus was completely closed and tight, while the magnum of Giscours was drinking well above expectation. But the 1970 BV GDLTPR was clearly the most elegant wine. Neither of these BV’s expressed any oxidation, nor as much of the redwood that is typical. They were both fantastic wines.<\/p>\n

Flight 4 was another shocker, with an unyielding Dominus that no one identified.\u00a0\u00a0The Duckhhorn was terrific, and misidentified by everyone. The famous 2003 Motrose lived up to its billing, and was quite opulent from a magnum. It was the wine of the night.<\/p>\n
