Celebrated a ten year wedding anniversary the other day. We were bushed from working all day but still managed to put together a nice dinner featuring my favorite, roast chicken and potatoes, as well as salad, a cheese plate and an apple tart Tatin. A four course dinner at home!
The breaking news is that 1999 Clos de Briords Muscadet goes well with two-year-old sharp cheddar. The Briords is in fine shape, bright with a marzipan richness and great with the sharp and creamy/rich cheese. It was a shocker! The wine was even better the next night.
1994 Leoville Barton Bordeaux was a terrible match for the cheese but great with chicken. The wine has come a long way since last tasted a decade ago and is actually quite plush with fruit. So there's some more breaking news: '94 Bordeaux may be coming around. Nice wine and classic Bordeaux, at least as I understand it.
Best,
Kay
