I forgot one wine from park concert
2020 Gadais Peninsula Muscadet
Citrus, floral, moderate acids, not sure IrCOd peg as Muscadet blind. B-
Friday grilled marinated Korean chicken with cold soba and tomato, grilled peppers, and Swiss chard.
2021 Thivin Reverdon Brouilly
IrCOve been a big 2021 Bojo fan, but this one didnrCOt really do it for me. A little burnt tire on nose, cranberry and green herbs. B-/C+
Saturday we went up for dinner at friends in Briarcliff, oysters followed by delicious fall off bone lamb shanks in a laksa sauce, and bok choy/Shanghai tips.
NV Gosset Grande Rose
I remain a fan. Crunchy red fruits, baking bread, good finish. B+/A-
2014 Fevre Montmains Chablis 1er
Lemon, green apple, some citrus blossom, wet rocks. This has that 2014 verve, but it is a little shorter than optimal, other than that classic. B+/B
2005 Edmund St John Wylie -Fenaughty Syrah
Mark thought this had a medicinal finish, I got herby, but not medicinal. Black raspberry, black pepper, some oregano, leather. Resolved tannin, good finish. B+
Sunday oysters, grilled arctic char, artichoke/truffle cuscinetti, caprese, corn avocado salad
NV Gosset Grande Reserve (375 ml)
I found this a little flat and short, but I often find half bottles of Champagne a bit lacking. IrCOve liked more in 750.
2002 Ecard rCLNarbantonsrCY Sauvigny-les Beaune 1er
Man this is in a good place. Resolved tannin, bright but not harsh acids, lacy texture, red currants and pomegranate, smoke. Really nice. A-
My last notes for a bit, having gallbladder out tomorrow.
Grade disclaimer: I'm a very easy grader, basically A is an excellent wine, B a good wine, C drinkable. Anything below C means I wouldn't drink at a party where it was only choice. Furthermore, I offer no promises of objectivity, accuracy, and certainly not of consistency.

I hope the operation goes well; Savigny-les-Baune a good place to end.

Best of luck, DaleW. My brother had that done years ago; hopefully, they can do the operation with only a small incision.

Sorry to hear this. I've got a bottle or two of this in the cellar.
Will report back on my experiences (I hope it was a bottle issue)

Good to hear. I finished my last bottle last year IIRC.

Oh, I have fond memories of this wine. Probably been a decade since our
last bottle. Glad you hang onto yours long enough for this result.

Best of luck with the surgery, Dale!
