Saturday Night last week I hosted a wine dinner at Le Cirque. Beautiful restaurant and in my opinion very nice food too.
The stand out wines of the night were only two...anyone here with experience let me know:
1) Pouilly-Fume, Ladoucette 2005 Loire Valley...paired with Lobster salad Le Cirque.Tokaji, 5 Puttonyos, Royal Tokaji Company 2003, Hungary paired with Sauted Foie Gras with Macerated dried fruits and hazennuts....
Both of these courses were standouts and outstanding pairings.
The next while excellent food was just ok on the wine.....
Lemon and Ceper Risotto with Diver Sea Scallops...paired with Chassagne-Montrachet, Clillerets, Morey-Coffinet 2004 Burg.
The last couse the duck was great...but the wine not even worth the mention.
