Burgundy Week Special Wine

To celebrate Burgundy week I opened an old Burgundy-a 1985 Georges Lignier Clos Denis Grand Cru.

It has a beautiful aged Pinot Noir color to it. The aromas were filled with wet cardboard and a musty dirty wine cellar. The taste was just as exciting. It was really upsetting to have this bottle be CORKED.

For me it was a Gran Corked wine.

Would be interested in hearing about how this should have tasted.

New Zealand Pinot Noir Wine

Stepping aside for the day from pairing those famous New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs with White Sturgeon caviar, I discovered New Zealand Pinot Noir of 2017.

Here time was a friend to wine. The Pinot Noir planted vineyards are starting to gain some age to them along with the winemakers learning along the way over recent years.

Here are some that I found to be exciting and delicious. Each wine has its own elegance to it.

2015 Trinity Hill Pinot Noir Hawkes Bay - This wine is terroir specific. Drink this and think New Zealand Pinot Noir. Here we find some soft ripe flavors with hidden tannins and a finish with balance. The retail price of approximately $18 is a value.

 


2014 Craggy Range Aroha Pinot Noir Martinborough - Everything about this wine makes you thing Burgundy. Starting from the color, the perfume and its integration this is a special wine. It also comes with a cork and a special retail price of approximately $90.

 2011 Greywacke Pinot Noir Marlborough - This wine has layers of fruit and spice with a touch of oak notes. The tannins are soft and the finish is elongated by the medium acidity melting away the tannins. The retail price is approximately $40.

Champagne Charles Ellner,Snow and Wine Geeks

How much snow did you get this week from the big storm?

We asked our friend Champagne Charles Ellner to help us measure the snow depth.

We got snow up to the bottom of the foil label.

Now with a chilled bottle of champagne , where did I put that jar of Lady Elena Caviar to get chilled in the snow?
