Happy Birthday Chad

This Saturday, we celebrated Chad's 30th Birthday with a fantastic dinner at Morton's in Georgetown. It was (as usual) a great experience. We had amazing service, delicious food and the best company.

One of the wines we enjoyed with our dinner was a 2005 Rys Ponot Noir Alesia Sonatera. Deep red/purple, it smelled of sour cherry, spice and dark fruit. It was a really enjoyable bottle with our appetizers and tasted of cherry, coco and clove. Smooth and elegant finish.

With dinner we had Schrader's Zinfandel Vieux-Os. I didn't love this wine. I smelled stewed plum and pepper, but drinking it, I mostly just felt the alcohol. It was OK with dinner but not amazing.



We also enjoyed a 1998 Chateau Doisy Vedrines with our dessert. So glad we have more of these in the cellar. Pale amber/yellow, it had nice weight with decent viscosity, sweet honey up front and a nice acidic finish.


Probably the best present Chad could get, a crumb collector. It was our waiter's gift to him and made him very happy.
