Those are wines I would love to drink - with one exception.
Best, jim

 

[Peter Creasey]

Yes, even though this bottling was atypical, when sampling it I actually thought of you.

Vinegar pie?

Why not simply eat salt n. vinegar chips?

i believe vinegar pie is a old southern dessert that may be getting rediscovered.

Bill, and rightly so. It is similar to buttermilk pie, chess pie, and the like.



Of course, figuring out what wine to pair with it was a challenge...which challenge was effectively met in this case.

How was that chablis? I own some but haven’t tried one.

 

[Peter Creasey]

Maureen,

Domaine Vincent Dauvissat Chablis La Forest 1er Cru '14 -- maybe a bit lighter in color than expected, expressive bouquet, apples and other fruits, a bit flinty, power with balance and finesse, tropical fruits nuances, still youthful but drinking well at this time. [E]

We gave a lot of thought and discussion as to what to serve with the crab course and were quite pleased with how the Dauvissat worked out. Is it a Raveneau? No, but still a delight on this occasion.

Pete likes his eggs tart.

 

[Peter Creasey]

Can't recall ever having an egg tart. Must be a northern dish.

Pete is quite right about vinegar pie. It exists in a class of recipes known as 'Desperation Pie'. That is, a pie that can be made using only pantry staples. Usually that means an egg custard about the consistency of lemon curd and flavored with anything handy... cider vinegar, molasses, corn meal, etc.
