match help in a hurry

Apr 24, 2010 9 Replies

My actual birthday dinner having been postponed by kids with nasty stomach bugs, (Adele and I went out for a good sushi), we're making it up in more rustic fashion tonight at the farm. Pigeons and morels each procured, (pigeons are local but God knows where the morels come from), the plan is for aforementioned in Armagnac.



Possible choices are pretty wide, if all French, and would maybe feature: 88/89 Clos du Lambrays (not sure which year is left), 90-ish Hermitage or maybe slightly older Cornas (I think there's some 85 kicking about), some sort of CdP from the same period, 86 Beaucastel? Various Bordeaux, an 83 Figeac that might be nice now, or there's some '85 Clerc Milon whos time probably come.



In short, not sure what direction to go in. Help!



TIA

I like older burgundy with pigeon but a well aged Bordeaux will probably work as well.

OK, burgundy it is. I will report later.

I think you made right choice!

They go together well. PIriod.

Good choice. Pigeon and Burgundy is one of my all-time favorite combinations.

Well, PIrhaps they do, but Bordeaux doesn't seem like such a bad choice.

Maybe, but Burgundy seems to have that magical combination of elegance and wild flavours.

Okay, your oPInion is noted. ;-)

Been out of town for a week, so too late for an official, but FWIW Burgundy for the Pigeon. Joseph Coulter Joseph Coulter Cruises and Vacations LLC
