Wine Dinner Paring at Le Cirque in Las Vegas

No, did not see. Was there something there to see?

RTWC is an internationally owned winery in Tokaj (Hugh Johnson is part of the ownership group) that produces decent, if not exceptional, Tokaji. 5 putts is sort of a Beerenauslese equivalent (6 putts being more like TBA). Ladoucette is one of the better-known producers in Pouilly-Fumé, but I can't comment on quality as I haven't had their wines.

So, did you come up with the wines, or did the restaurant, Dick? I'm confused as to what the role of the host was at this event.

I hosted the dinner, the menu and pairings was what the restaruant did for any guests that night...it was their 5 couse tasting menu for Saturday

I simply hosted some guests of mine, meaning I made the arrangements and if the table did not object, we all had to do the tasting menu.

I have the full c>> Saturday Night last week I hosted a wine dinner at Le Cirque. Beautiful

Ladoucette used to be a very racy SB, full of tropical fruits and agrume, almost NZ-like certain years. Unfortunately it is a victim of it's success and has been priced out of contention (much like Cloudy Bay I suppose) for most of us. I'd guess it's a very safe menu choice though.
