Our host prepared a delicious summery starter.
Goat's Cheese Nut Balls with a grape & apple salad and the main course was Salmon in Pastry in a Champagne-Estragon Sauce.

The opening white wine I knew...Bistro Tasting..and a cracker it is!... I love Condrieu..unfortunately..my pocket cannot afford daily doses..
Cuilleron Condrieu Les Chaillets 2005
Rhone, France
I remember 'finding' Cuilleron when I visted the area..back when I could buy his wine at the Vineyard door..those days are gone..Cuilleron is too well known nowadays.The wine was beautifully presented...it had been decanted.
This has a gorgeous nose...powerful..exotic fruit..full flavour, explosive and rich.

Gaja Ca'Marcanda 2000
Tuscany, Italy
The red had also been decanted..
purple colour; black fruit and
caramel aromas;
quite mature, porty...sweet tannins..
quite elegant..no hard edges.
