St Romain 2002 Rapet

At least the Muscat sounded nice (and the squash flower/pike dish sounds better than nice!).

Hello Dale I was a bit surprised that, in the recent discussion on Alsace, noone mentioned Muscat. I do like Gwz but these days I tend to find it a bit overpowering. A nice, dry, Alsace Muscat is a good apero and accompanies a light meal (melon with prosciutto, or asparagus). And, as I said. Bruno SOrg and his son are both very good guys, though Bruno is the more talkative one. They have some idea that their wines should be affordable, so, their Riesling GC Pfirsigberg goes for c EU 10, which in my opinion is a good price for a GC.

You want the recipe for the stuffed squash flowers? ;)

Yes, please.

OK I started with

400 g filet of pike perch or walleye. 1 dl thick cream 1-2 teaspoon(s) potato flour 1 egg 1 teaspoon sichuan, coarsely mortared 0.5 gr saffron salt to taste Dice fish, run through mixer with rest of ingredients. To adjust seasoning, fry small amount of the farce, or, poach it. Fill squash flowers with farce - I use one of thos enifty plastic bags with a pointy snout. Steam flowers for about 20 minutes. My trusty steamer was to small so I put the flowers in the oven, on a grid with a silicon paper over a pan with water, and set the oven at 120 degrees centigrade, with the fan blowing. This worked very well. Serve with a sauce of wild mushrooms (morrels or cantarelles) and a good white Burgundy (Meursault comes to mind).

Cheers
