My uncle-in-law just got married. It was a beautiful ceremony and the wedding party enjoyed 2002 Roumier Clos de la Bussiere and '00 Fevre Chablis Bougros Grand Cru amongst other wines.
But the "Men's Dinner" on Friday night was also something to remember. A legendary lobster bisque made by Hampton's wine professional/chef Peter Hoepfner was to die for, and lamb chops with a garlic-breadcrumb crust were legendary, along with many other treats.

Wine of the night: '59 Richebourg (unavailable)
Not very far behind: 1993 Trapet Chambertin (Available $119bt retail)
Surprise in the mix: 1990 Niellon...as complex as the '59 Richebourg (but white), and 1999 Raveneau Chapelot (like pure white Alba truffle)
Lesson: Have the patience to forget about great Burgundy producers (regardless of what the vintage is panned for)...

Great night. I love Burgundy and friends that love to cook. I've eaten meals prepared by the greatest chefs of the world and this meal was way up top! Let's do it again and again! Vive La Bourgogne! Jacques Franey
