1 Citation Tonight saw another MNSC tasting held at Amber, the newly minted Michelin 2-star restaurant. As usual we took up a private room for the occasion, but business seems to be pretty slow for the place. The main dining room seemed less than 1/3 full...As usual there were the amuse bouches, which were scallops with apple jelly (presented like Thomas Keller's oysters & pearls); pumpkin soup with black truffles; and foie gras lollipop on sticks. The first course was southern Australian lobster & foie gr, technorati.com

1 Citation The MNSC members finally gathered again tonight for the first time in 2 months. This tasting format was different from our usual in that each member contributed a bottle of wine that fit the general theme, without knowing what the others brought to the table. We would be drinking wines from the Rhone, excluding some of the familiar producers which we tend to rely on. The venue was Golden Leaf (???) , where some of the earliest MNSC dinners were held. It's good to be back here, as the food is, technorati.com

Thierry Marx at Cordeillan-Bages 1 Citation Tonight we officially kicked off the MNSC trip to Bordeaux with a dinner inside our hotel, Château Cordeillan-Bages . Chef Thierry Marx is well-known for his creativity and has visited Hong Kong a number of times. His restaurant has earned him 2 Michelin stars. Food-wise this would be as haute cuisine as it gets on this trip. We started with some NV Egly-Ouriet Champagne Blanc de Noirs Grand Cru Les Crayéres à Ambonnay in the drawing room. This was a real treat as it's not easy to come, technorati.com

Bordeaux trip day 3: going down south 1 Citation We've got another full day today, going through the southern Médoc appellations of St-Julien, Margaux and Pessac-Léognan. Due to the early start this morning, most of the ladies chose to skip the itinerary and only joined us for lunch. Unfortunately, the morning was overcast so the pictures would be dreary, too... Our first stop was Branaire-Ducru , where we were received by the Président Patrick Maroteaux and Manager Jean-Dominique Videau . A quick tour of the facilities and we we, technorati.com
