Dinner at a private dining facility.
2004 Kistler Chardonnay McCrea Vineyard - still plenty of flint and minerals here, along with toast. Surprisingly fresh and vibrant.
2004 Henri Giraud Argonne - savory minerals, a little salted plum.
2002 Ruinart Rosé - sweeter and more fruity.
2013 Ganevat Grusse en Billat - a little flinty with lemon notes.
1998 Vogüé Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Amoureuses - opened for 3 hours prior to serving. Sweeter on palate than expected, although not quite jammy. Nice fruit.
1989 Grand-Puy-Lacoste - unfortunately corked.
1997 Joseph Phelps Insignia, from magnum - minty, a little coconut, smoky with grilled meats. Drinking beautifully. Smooth and well-balanced on the palate.
