Krug 164:
Haven’t had this in a little while. This was drinking phenomenally tonight. Some brioche and Meyer lemon curd on the nose, with immense power on the palate with crisp but not overwhelming acidity and a superb finish. This is just one of the best champagnes out there right now.
2017 Anne Gros Richebourg
This initially had a little medicinal note on the nose, with a streak of cranberries and some floral notes, but a bit of spice box and pure fruits on the palate and long finish. Over the course of several hours open the nose expanded to a lovely bouquet of fruit and spice and the palate blossomed and the finish lengthened. Likely a few more years would help here, but this is a fantastic wine with a ton of potential.
At Morcilla Pittsburgh. Fantastic food and service. More Pittsburgh wine events to come this year!

Great bottles – thanks for the write up. I need to make a trip to Pittsburg.
Grew up in Pittsburgh and love seeing your posts… no longer live in the area but get up there to visit couple times a year and hope to check out one of your events some time
For sure, I’ll be doing a lot more events; once I get the next bigger one organized I’ll post about it here!
