A particularly pleasing array of wines shared with some fellow wine lovers at a restaurant this week. Riesling for the steamed fish, Vosne Romanee for the tea-smoked duck, Cornas for the cumin lamb, Champagne for the friendship, and Puligny-Montrachet because who wouldn’t want to drink PYCM at 1.5x retail price?
