Beaujolais
Next to Canadian Champagne and British wines of any stripe, no wine has been sullied as much as Beaujolais. And blame it all on that damn Nouveau stuff. The only positive thing it created was cash flow for the vintners; the rest we will choose to forget in that haze of carbonic silliness. True Beaujolais is one of the most glorious wines on the planet. Officially, Beaujolais is in Burgundy but the grape involved is Gamay, not Pinot Noir. And talk about sense of place: these wines sing of their surroundings and the hard work of the vintners trying to overcome the zaniness of the 3rd Thursday in November. Expect to be amazed tonight.

Tuesday, June 3rd, 7:00pm $250.00 per person
An Intimate Dinner
To end our spring season, I will host a small dinner for 8 guests. Marco and Jordan will prepare a stupendous tasting menu and I will match wines from the cellar that have been gathering dust and acclaim (at least in my mind). No theme tonight just a bacchanalian feast.
