MARCH BIRTHDAYS
Bob, Marjorie and Gerald
2003 Edition
Hosted by Henry & Alexia Moore
Woodside, California |
That big yellow "flower" is a huge Chanterelle caught by Henry
Moore!
Alexia prepared some crudits and Henry sliced up some Duck
"prosciutto" to accompany the outstanding bottle of Deutz 1990
"Cuvee William Deutz."
Alexia.
Henry!.
Smoked Trout Mousse with Smoked Trout and Belgian Endives embellished with Basil
Oil.
Work and Mason 2001 Napa Sauvignon Blanc wines were paired with this plate.
Two 1979 vintage Bordeaux were partnered with Henry's Grilled Lamb with a
Porcini Mushroom Sauce. Asparagus and roasted Potatoes & Chanterelles
were the side dishes.
The Chateau Margaux was outstanding, having grown and soften considerably since
its debut. The wine was very showy, deep in bouquet and rather supple on
the palate. The Domaine de Chevalier was still remarkably young and still
can go for many years! It was excellent when it was released and
remains a remarkable bottle of wine today.
The Birthday Girl.
She rivals the Bordeaux for youthfulness!
Singer/Song Writer Spencer Cliff adds some pepper to the proceedings.
Paul Serves up Sandy's Cheese Selections.
Alexia had two gorgeous 1983 Burgundies for the cheeses:
Jayer-Gilles Echezeaux &
Domaine de la Pousse d'Or Volnay "Clos de la Bousse d'Or."
Dessert : 1975 Chateau Rieussec Sauternes with a Peach "Tart."
Very good!
Some birthday gifts were then presented to the March Babies.
Marjorie's sister Betty, who lives up in Tacoma, Washington, sent along a box of
wine. The birthday card featured "Real Masterpieces" and we
changed one of them to include Marjorie!!!
Thanks to Henry and Alexia, Paul and Sandy and Cliff for making this such a
delightful event!
