Dinner with Friends

On Sunday, we attended a dinner that our friends had planned in order for my husband and another friend, Christy to talk about living in California in the early 70's. But, it became more than that. My husband made his salmon cakes for an appetizer and we had "slow" food. The conversation flowed and we enjoyed the evening.
Christy provided the wine for the meal which was grilled lamb chops, green beans almondine and crispy potatoes. We were treated to a 1993 Louis Jadot Chapelle Chambertin and a 2000 Chateau Pontet Canet. The ullage on the 1993 Louis Jadot was at the shoulder and the cork was pushed in a little, but the wine was still hanging in there tasting very much of burgundy. The 2000 Pontet Canet was still youthful, redolent with blackberries with a long finish.

Good friends, good food, good wine! You can never plan to have a memorable evening it just happens!
