Rack & Riddle

Château Lafon-Rochet

Saint-Estèphe Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2007

Vaucluse is Michael White's Upper East Side French restaurant with a slight American twist. And so it is the wine list. Large sections of French wine are bookended by their US equivalents. Two pages of Burgundy are followed by a handful of Sonoma and Oregon Pinots. We stayed Old School and went for a Bordeaux. Red fruit, tar, leather, somewhat advanced beyond its decade of life. A tasty mid weight wine that was lovely with the rack of lamb and establishment atmosphere. — 9 years ago

Domaine du Pegau

Cuvée Réservé Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend

And the pièce de resistance, for the lamb rack from Siesel's - the pairing was OH SO GOOD!! Still ripe after all these years, with tons of spicy meaty earthy goodness. Nothing says holidays like a Pegau! — 11 years ago

Hommage à Jacques Perrin Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 1995

Underwhelmed exceedingly high expectations..... Perhaps it was the vintage?! Lacked the concentration or focus of the best versions of this. That said, still beautiful wine, especially w/rack of lamb #firstworldproblems — 11 years ago
