Wednesday Night is BYOB at Napa


We tasted some great wines tonight. One of my great friends brought in some wines to try from his cellar...Ridge 1992 (Cab-Merlot); Heitz 1987; Chateau Montelena 1982; Robert Craig 1994; Qupe single vineyard 1995 syrah and Deloach special select single vineyard 1996. We finished with Peter Michael Chardonnay "la Carriere" 1998 vs. 2004. The 1998 had this great yeasty, toasty, nuttiness that we both love but the '04 had this class Burgundian chardonnay with creaminess and burnt apple. Yum!!!! BYOB should be all bout people bringing great wines from their cellar to enjoy with Chef Taibe's food and pass the bottle to let someone else enjoy! Tonight was that kind of night! Oh, and at the tail end of the night Mayor Malloy came in and we enjoyed a quick chat as he had just come from a fundraiser. Yes, he's a friend, but he's been a great Mayor and will be a great Governor. He's been an advocate for small business, luring large corporation, special education, green space, environmental causes, you name it...this is a man meant for public service and he has proven that in my mind. Stamford is a better place for having had him Mayor and Connecticut will be a better State when he governs it.
