2015 New Year's Eve Dinner

Kids spend the New Years Eve in Manhattan'
So, it was just the two of us!

Connecticut Oysters ***

1990 Pol Roger Champagne ***
Clear bright gold, with a lasting stream of exceptionally small bubbles.
Bread dough and fruits, apple and lemon aromas.
Full-bodied and rich, apples and subtle earthy tones with a bright acidic high note;
flavors unfold and develop with time in the glass.
A gift from Calvert Woodley- Thank you Ed!

Maine Lobster- Grilled with Butter ***

S.Pellegrino finest sparkling natural mineral water

2007 Richie Vineyards Aubert Chardonnay ***
Intense clear yellow color, the nose reveals lemon and orange motes,
on the palate, it has superb minerality and acidity, a steely, full-bodied mouthfeel,
with plenty of orange blossom, lemon oil, creme brulee, and honeysuckle notes.
A present from a friend; Cheers Tim!
