Dinner was grand, and as I told Justin Taylor the owner that what made the evening for me so special was how impressive, balanced, focused, iteresting, tasty, good character and definition to each of the wines, and meeting him, too : the rest at Del Friscos Double Eage Washington DC was icing on the cake!
From the bone-dry Alsace-Style Riesling to the first Cabernet Sauvignon, onot the second and third Cabernet, then the two Shiraz reds ( my least favorite of the whole evening was the first Shiraz - otherwise the highest praise indeed for the others. And the only reason I was not big on the first Shiraz is that, to me, it was balanced but not as distinguished as the others. And a secret in some of the reds : the eucalyptus accents! ).
The wines include : The Pioneer, The Visionary, St. Andrews, and Jarman. Cheers mate!
The food, too was great. Chef Scott came out to say ' hello ", and between the seafood and the beef it was an incredible combination of these WAKEFILED Estate wines from Australia's Clare Valley ( called TAYLORS Wines there ) and the food. A real special moment for all of us.
It will be great to sell these wines here at Cleveland Park Wine and Spirits 3423 Conn Ave. NW Washington DC, 20008 202-363-4265 in May. Stay-tuned. Thanks Scott, Grayden, Matt, Jeff, Chris Scott, our waiter, too : you all did a grand job! Cheers, Anthony ( TONY ) Quinn 4/21/2017
