With sourdough scallion pancake, stirfry with cabbage/leek/Chinese sausage/ peppers, and mustard greens with oyster sauce
2005 Trimbach ?Cuvee Frederic Emile? Riesling This is pretty ripe and round for CFE, peach and pineapple, some petrol, ready to go. B2001 Trimbach ?Cuvee Frederic Emile? Riesling Color was a little darker than I expected, but racy and young on nose and palate. Petrol, citrus, herbs, with long stony finish. A-
Duck with braised vegetables (I accidentally omitted main one!), the forgotten carrots, salad
2002 Catherine and Claude Marechal Savigny-Les-Beaune VV Red and black cherries and raspberries, smoke, herbs, a pointe and delicious. I never see Marechal any more. A-/B+Oysters, halibut with potatoes, spinach
2013 Collier Saumur Blanc Correct but not especially exciting Chenin, some wax and wool around apple fruit, good acids. BPork chops, delicata squash, brussels sprouts, mushrooms, salad
2007 Jadot ?Narbantons? Savigny-Les-Beaune Fully mature, lighter styled, red cherry and some Earl Grey tea notes, moderate acids, resolved tannin. BOur Zoom call was featuring a couple of Jura wines from Pelican (Angerville), so Betsy graciously made a version of chicken with vin jaune (a blend of Saumur Blanc and Amontillado substituting), with dried morels and fresh shiitake/cremini. Delicious!
2018 Domaine du Pelican Trois Cepages Arbois Light, bright and primary, ok but I?d rather have a similarly priced (or cheaper) Cru Beaujolais I think. B-/B2018 Domaine du Pelican Ouille Savagnin Arbois Not oxidative, bright and racy, herby and minerally, this is fun and I?d definitely buy again. B++
Grade disclaimer: I'm a very easy grader, basically A is an excellent wine, B a good wine, C drinkable. Anything below C means I wouldn't drink at a party where it was only choice.Furthermore, I offer no promises of objectivity, accuracy, and certainly not of consistency.
