Warmth in Winter --- 做冬

There are many ways to find warmth in winter times.
Bonfire, heater, fireplace, a BBQ, a Sunday roast..
well I found warmth celebrating Chinese winter festival with my beloved family

perfectly cooked home-made delicacies to pair up with what wines?
something a little special perhaps..

2008 Chambolle Musigny by Alain Hudelot Noellat
CC: "i treated this wine a sacred one as vintage 2006 led me to an endless journey, nose of sweet spices and shy fruit, beautiful acidity (perhaps too young), sweet red fruit, lacking yet the perfect balance and harmony, but I wouldn't rule this one out. let's wait"
2005 Chateau Boyd-Cantenac, Margaux, Bordeaux
CC: "the classic intensity of a Margaux wine, sweet vanilla aroma, intense ripe plum, balanced, smooth and not a single harsh moment from a GIANT vintage, that's the elegance of Margaux, lengthy finish."
.. and one drunken dad...

  1. Went a bit crazy and opened a Chambolle 1er cru Les Charmes (Hudelot-Noellat)2005. Too young but still amazing...lucky I still have one left...
