What a great pair

... With assorted cheeses and homemade lasagna, a great start to a momentous weekend.

(It's the '04 Vatan FYI)

Ooh, ooh, so what did you finally buy from that dismal list?

Report to follow Saturday, although I was able to get permission to 'gray market' one of the wines (that could not be acquired through local channels).

oh go ahead and give us the details on the other wine too.

Cliff Hanger had me hold off (actually, it was late and we were too busy all day for me to respond). Wines for my daughter's wedding this weekend:

Pepiere Briords '14
Louis Michel chablis '14
Baudry Chinon Rose '15 (my 'import')
Olga Raffault Picasses '06
d'Oupia Heretiques '15
Mionetta Brut Prosecco

The Vermont beverage catering process is an excellent way of introducing "gentle restaurant markup" into event costs, not to mention restricting choices based on the requirement to source through in state distributors.

That said, all the wines showed well but the one we ran out of was the Baudry Rose. Killer stuff.

Congrats, Dan!

Thanks Brad. The Olga was really great, especially with the grilled seafood paella.
