December’s Friday Night Flight
Tuna Tartar, Radishes, Cranberry “Meringue”
Henriot, Brut Souverain, NV, France
There is just a suggestion of color; it’s very sensuous, and the wine bursts immediately into a complex play of scents. Dusty pollen, fresh-cut flowers and sweet fruits mingle invitingly, leading you into flavors of pomegranate, cranberry and spice. Big and polished, this sensual feast of a wine delivers an extra dimension of flavor, power and length.
Mozzarella, Seared Strawberries, Licorice
Mumm Napa, Brut Rose, NV, Napa Valley
Brut Rose offers a bouquet of ripe Pinot Noir fruit, rich with black cherry and strawberry notes. Part of the wine is initially fermented in the press, producing the soft fruity character that gives Brut Rosé its directness, while a small percentage of Chardonnay gives the wine power and structure. This more robust quality makes Brut Rosé a wonderful wine with many kinds of cuisine, ranging from Thai to Italian.
White Apple Soup, Peanut Pebbles, Celery
J Cuvee, Sparkling, 2002, Sonoma
Elegant and a bit understated with generous flavors of green apple, spice, petrol, apple blossom and yeast. Medium bodied, and very well balanced with the petrol-reduced sulpher-like note echoing on the finish.
