en mineralsk Chablis kunne også være fin, tror jeg. Men ellers bobler af en vis kvalitet

Er lige kommet hjem med 6 flasker mere af nedenstående. Nu var prisen pludselig sat ned igen - til 75kr!

2010 Domaine Jaeger-Defaix Rully 1er Cru Les Cloux
2009 Domaine Bernard Defaix Chablis 1er Cru Cote de Lechet

...blev det også til. Ellers bliver det Champagne fra den billigere ende af skalaen (konen gider ikke rigtig rødvin):
NV Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin Champagne Brut
NV Canard-Duchene Champagne Authentic Brut

Menuen bliver quick og relativt let:

østers (hhv. naturel og gratinerede)
jomfruhummerbisque

"Majspoussin med majscassoulet, majscreme, spæde løg og timian"

En af de få retter, der kan give mig afsindig lyst til californisk fadlagret chardonnay... Jeg kunne måske finde på at inkorporere lidt "træsmagende" safran og/eller nogle "gode nødder" også.

Mit urin lugtede af sjampuus her til morgen. Eller portugisisk espumante for at være helt præcis.

Er det normalt?

Fik du asparges i går?

Ikke hvad jeg ved af.

Hvad med Aspergers?

Havde en af de ret ærgelige oplevelser til nytår.

Lagde Haut-Brion tilbage og tog i stedet 1986 Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande med.
Åbnede den i god tid da jeg ved at de kræver luft, men den her virkede alligevel ekstra ung, grøn og stram. I karaffel med den to timer før servering. Stadig helt uhyggelig grøn, stram og ikke særlig charmerende. ØV... skæv flaske!

Nu fik vi en masse andet god vin den aften, men jeg har smagt en tidligere flaske fra denne kasse/kælder og det var noget af mit livs bedste vin, så mega ærgeligt.

Til kransekage endte vi med en flaske 2004 Dom Perignon.... hold kæft noget lort. Virkelig sød, uren og kluntet.

Neil Martin fra The Wine Advocate (Robert Parker) har besøgt Mark Haisma som jeg arbejdede for i Bourgogne:

I know what you are thinking. You are thinking: I know that name. You would probably be correct because Mark was the winemaker at the revered Yarra Yering in Australia for many years. “So what’s he doing here?” you ask. Well, Mark was bitten by the Burgundy bug for which there is no known antidote. He migrated to the region to set up a micro-negociant and released his maiden vintage made from contracted fruit back in 2007. And well received they were too, especially in the UK where he has built a loyal following based on an almost personal direct relationship fostered between winemaker and customer. You want a bottle of Mark’s wines, then you virtually e-mail him directly, a policy that tends not to work quite so successfully at say, Domaine de la Romanee-Conti. But what you get with Mark is Burgundy at its most raw. You are at the coalface alongside the winemaker (not unlike Ray Walker at Maison Ilan.) His regular mail-outs are frank and do not gloss over the challenges that he faces as an “outsider” within this closed-knit community, though I should mention his mother is French and he speaks the language fluently. But that is why people love Burgundy. Following the tasting, Mark and I went out for ‘chicken and chips’ at the local “Courtepaille”. During our meal he came across as a typical Australian: chatty, very witty, candid, full of lust for life and moreover, a person who has quite literally put everything on the line to fulfill his passion. Working out of a facility on the industrial side of Gevrey-Chambertin that he shares with another French winemaker, he prefers the spaciousness it provides rather than working out of expensive, cramped conditions in the village itself. And the bottle packaging is very clever: classic in style, beautifully presented and most importantly containing some finely crafted wine inside. One senses that Mark is still trying out new ideas, which is always a good thing, experimenting with whole cluster ferments, constantly seeking out old vines in less desirable locations. What this adds up to is a set of interesting wines made by an interesting person and to me it is no surprise that he has built such a loyal following. Quantities are very small, but then again, the prices can be very affordable.

Jussi:
