Default TN: modern/international Barolo and Meursault

Saturday early dinner with Betsy before she headed to city for opening
night. With osso buco, escarole, and a green salad, the 2000 Mauro
Molino "Vigna Gancia" Barolo. Modern styled with some apparent oak,
but not as heavily extracted as some de Grazia wines. Red berries,
leather, a bit of vanilla. Medium bodied, moderately tannic. Over the
evening it held pretty steady, but a glass next night was pruney and
surprisingly seemed more tannic. On night 1, B.

Sunday she played a matinee while I planned dinner. With a salt cod
stew over polenta, with sides of carrots and cauliflower with
pimenton, the 2006 Girardin "Les Perrieres" Meursault 1er, Big, very
sweet, plenty of oak. Betsy peeks at label and says "this is white
Burgundy? Tastes like California Chardonnay." Quite primary, maybe
this will show more Perrieres character in time. Probably would have
been better with something like lobster, needed more acidity for this
dish. With time some hazelnut and mineral battles through the candied
fruit and vanilla to give a hint. Big wine that would impress many,
but not my style. B-/C+

Grade disclaimer: I'm a very easy grader, basically A is an
excellent*wine, B a good wine, C mediocre. Anything below C means I
wouldn't*drink at a party where it was only choice. Furthermore, I
offer no*promises of objectivity, accuracy, and certainly not of
consistency.**
