Victory Hotel

Trimbach

Cuvée Frédéric Emile Alsace Riesling 2007

2007 vintage. At poolside restaurant at the Edition Hotel, Miami Beach. Pale lemon hue. Tight on the nose - needed time to open up. Apple, greengage plum and lemon zest. Some grapefruit aromas with air. Not picking up the expected wet stone minerality in this bottle at least at this stage of its development. Very youthful. Hint of rubbery note but quite subtle. On the palate, bright, precise and clean, massive acidity, medium minus body and medium intensity. Medium finish. Very enjoyable with fish lunch. Being from a great vintage, this wine is still way too youthful and has yet to develop depth and complexity. I think it should not be touched for another 5-7 years and thereafter should drink well until 2030+. — 10 years ago

Yes you do. That situation doesn't sound delectable.

Krug

Grande Cuvée Brut Champagne Blend

What a way to welcome the first night in Reims!. L'Assiette Champenoise is one of the only hotel restaurants to have an agreement to serve Krug by the glass.... The whole bottle is better. Bright, crisp and a great companion! — 11 years ago

I agree. Krug is always a nice way to inaugurate the first night in Reims, France. And although I love the thought of Krug by the glass, a whole bottle is much preferred! Krug always special, always delicious.

Really nice porter. Quite bitter, which I think makes it stand out among many of the syrupy beers of this style. Vanilla but without overwhelming sweetness, like an actual vanilla bean. — 11 years ago

One thing I'll say about this beer is that it's not a bottle of fuckin' sake.
