I have not had the St Pierre but the PL was excellent
Away from home tonight. Dinner is Thai so a Riesling to start followed by a 94 mondavi reserve, 96 Margaux and if still thirsty an 89 Chave.
Having an early Thai dinner. Brought 2017 Muller Scharzof QbA and 2014 St Urbans Hof Ockfener Bockstein Spatlese.
Love, love, love the 2004.
Itās my favorite example of a champagne that appeals to wine geeks and āciviliansā alike. I wish I had more.

Louis Roederer. Never had it. I like Piper-Heidseck, mainly, but this was a deal at Costco, so why the hell not? But heard good things.
True.
We probably have you covered.

Roederer is currently making fantastic wines up and down the range. Until maybe 2-3 years ago, I donāt remember drinking the producer. It forms a fairly sizable and increasing percentage of my champagne purchases over the last year in particular. Enjoy!

Maybe another red depending on whether children are in for the wine
Opened Henri Goutorbe 2008 Brut Grand Cru with lunch.
If I feel industrious for dinner, Iāll make quail and serve burgundy. Doesnāt look promising right now ā looking more like a simple salad with cheeses and charcuterie. That would warrant another champagne, or an interesting white.
Would love to see the impression of this as I have one last bottle Iām holding and the only one I really aged.
For us it will be
2014 UltraMarine - not sure which one yet
Krug 164
If we āneedā more then Definitely a Laherte

1985 Domaine Armand Rousseau PĆØre et Fils Gevrey-Chambertin - France, Burgundy, CĆ“te de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin (12/31/2020)
Pristine cork that was easily removed with a regular corkscrew, no Durand needed. Color was an impressive clear dark ruby showing this was a perfectly stored bottle without signs of oxidative damage.
The nose is an enticing melange of sweet earth, leafs, spice, and Chinese medicinal herbs. The palate is tertiary but includes notes of dark chocolate, black truffle, and a lingering menthol sweetness. A 35 year old village that has aged better than the grand cru 85s that Iāve tried.
