RECAP
On Saturday, March 8, 2025, 18 members and preferred guests were joined by 3 guests for a delightful evening at The Delancey Restaurant. Steve Smith curated 8 red wines from Burgundy for the group to taste, discuss and rate. These, in addition to 4 pre-taste wines, were enjoyed by all.
All the wines were purchased from K&L and at the time of purchase, were readily available. The top-rated wine for the evening was the 2022 Domaine Henri Gouges Nuits-St Georges 1er Cru “Clos des Porrets St-Georges” Monopole. It was the most expensive bottle of the evening but had a solid approval from the tasters. The second-place wine was the 2022 Domaine Jean-Michel Giboulot Savigny-les-Beaune 1er Cru “Aux Gravains”. This wine was among the least expensive of the offerings.
