It's a Rhone evening..
Jan 30, 2025,14:21 PM
Had a dinner with some friends enjoying some stellar wines from the Northern Rhone region

The champers started the evening rolling nicely,but the standouts were the Hermitage Blanc from Chave,quite a different palate from the usual chardonnay with its complexity and honeyed notes,and the Guigal cote Rotie which was well in its drinking window with years to go----lovely fruit,lively ,well grained but soft tannins,very good length and enjoyable.
The port was the as good as any aged tawny can be
They went well with the cantonese cuisine
All in all,a very enjoyable repast
