NV Lucien Albrecht Cremant d'Alsace –Sparkling Wine; 100% Pinot Noir; Alsace> France;
–Lucien Albrecht Crémant D'Alsace Brut Rosé is12% abv. and is from Alsace, France on the German border. It is made out of 100% Pinot Noir grapes. Most people don't know it, but Alsace does grow a small amount of pinot noir grapes. The winery was established in 1425, although it is the current generation who has perfected their cremant (French non-champagne sparkling wine) methode champenoise.
–This wine is a pale rose pink with a coppery tinge and a fine and plentiful cascade of tiny bubbles. The aroma is light with floral notes and a hint of fruit. This wine is crisp and elegant, dry, with touches of various fruit, especially cranberries and strawberries to it.
1991 Beaune Domaine Henri Clerc & Fils, Meursault 1ere Cru-Sous le dos d'Ane
The color was amber, the nose was complex with roasted honey, on the palate big body and complex. A bit over the hill, but still a fantastic sample. We enjoyed this wine with Alinda's seared salmon over caramelized onions and leeks.
1982 De Frrand, 1ere Cru St. Emillion-
The color was clear light red, the nose was powerful, with notes of currents, raspberries and roasted vanilla. On the palate, medium bodied with a long finish. We enjoyed this wine with rib roast, asparagus with blue cheese sauce and red potatoes.
Rutherglen Muscat Campbells
This has to be my most favorite muscat wines in the world, the key is to serve this wine at 33 degrees F in chilled wine glasses!
The color is rich amber dark honey color, the nose is full of raisins and roasted vanilla on the palate, rich, sweet and smooth. One cannot go wrong serving this wine with chocolate mousse. In this event, we enjoyed this wine with white chocolate mousse with macadamia nuts and chocolate drizzle.
