With wahoo 2 ways (crudo and baked) and pasta with a fresh tomato sauce, the 2011 Michelot ?Genevieres? Meursault. Pear, lemon meringue pie, hazelnut. Pretty classic white Burgundy , but with only modest acids and just a hint of oxidation after a couple hours, fun but drink up. B/B+ for drinking now
With sousvide pork chops, green beans, & couscous, the 2000 Nikolaihof ?Im Weingebirge? Riesling Smaragd. Petrol and honeycomb over dry citrus fruit, still plenty of acid, but finish isn?t so long and there?s a sense that this has run its course, time to drink up. B+ for now
Betsy made a sheet-pan dinner of trout and broccolini with a garlic/Aleppo/caper sauce, served with brown rice, salad, and the 2015 Pepiere ?Clos des Briords? Muscadet. Rounder riper vintage of Briords, not my fave but I?ll take 2nd tier Briords over 1st tier vintages of most wines. Lemon, apple, and oyster shell. Fun if not profound. B+/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.
