Great lineup again!
As a Sommelier with over 30 years of experience, food and wine pairing is a specialty of mine. I love it, and I'm pretty good at it.
You see, even if I don't know the menu or all the ingredients of the dishes to be served, I developed some kind of a method based on my instinct, knowledge, skills, and know-how ("savoir-faire") and gut's feelings, to pair the most ideal wine (I can buy or at my availability) with each dish, and I rarely miss.
Once again, last night was a great example of this. The wines I selected to accompany our guests' menu matched perfectly with the food and showed wonderfully, too. It was a blast.
To be fair, how can food-pairing go wrong when you serve great wines with great food?
I love these 3 wines!
Domaine Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru "Les Folatieres" 2017
@pierreyvescolinmorey
Light, crisp, racy, mineral, zesty, floral, elegant, refined, balanced, and sharp on the nose and the palate, yet packing a solid build, good strength, complexity, as well as structure and texture, like a ballerina seems delicate and fragile while being very strong, agile, flexible, coordinated and extremely precise. Love this wine. Really enjoyable and well crafted, a great match with the scallops and artichoke Risotto.
Domaine Serafin Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru 2017
@domaineserafin
Here again, on the light to medium side, yet layered, complex, and long-lasting, boasting fresh, bright, fragrant, focused, energetic, and racy aromas of red and black cherry and berries mingling with floral, herbal, and earthy minerals, terroir-driven notes. A brilliant wine, great with the langoustine and the turbot.
Vieux Château Certan Pomerol 2016
@vieuxchateaucertan
My love for VCC is undeniable and goes back to 25 years ago when I first had the chance and was privileged to visit the cellar and taste at the barrel with Alexandre Thienpont himself. I fell in love with the wine; to this day, it is still and remains my favorite Pomerol. There is shyness, yet character and personality, distinct elegance and intelligence in this wine. Like its maker, this is a bright and generous wine with so much to give and offer when you get to know it and listen to what it has to say. Stunning with the slow-cooked lamb and roasted pigeon.
Cheers! Santé!
Dom
