New Years Eve Options
I am not one
to go to big New Years Eve parties. I tend to gather with a group of friends
and eat and drink well.
Here are a
couple of wines that I will be “assessing” leading up to midnight……and another
top Champagne for the toast.
Muscadet de Sevre et Maine 2007 – Haut Censy
Product
Code: 553602 $ 15.99
Oysters are on the menu and Muscadet
works like a charm. Juicy and minerally this has always been a classic with
fresh oysters and a great way to limber up the palate.
Chateau du Trignon Gigondas 2006 – Rhone Valley, France
Product
Code: 769893 $ 33.98
This is a fantastic Grenache
dominated red from the southern Rhone Valley. Very similar to its more famous
neighbour…… Chateauneuf du Pape but a little spicy. Perfect for the braised
baby back ribs.
Champagne Charles Heidsieck Brut Reserve
Product
Code: 31286 $ 59.99
This is the wine I will be seeing in
the New Year with. Classic toasty and savoury characters with a lively lemony
finish.
It is almost $ 60.00 but that’s what
you have to pay for good Champagne and this is a beauty.
