Do I long for that tasting, with wines of course!!! Sun Jan 21 19:05:36 -0800 2007 2211598 10359 carter 1 2211992 The meal I had there in Novenber was memorable. Best tasting menu in LA IMO Sun Jan 21 19:13:53 -0800 2007 2211598 31823 melangeinc 1 2212197 I'm assuming you provided your own wines? I'm curious -- was the '98 Chapoutier too young still?

Re: the Mordoree...drinks pretty well with a serious decant. I'll pop another one in 5 yrs. Mon Jan 22 03:10:50 -0800 2007 2212197 12340 Grog 1 2213207 That looks fab!
