We were invited to a birthday party for our dear friend last Sunday.
She invited about 30 guests. Most of us were hard-core wine lovers. We all brought wines and the lineup was so amazing. There were many magnum bottles, too.
1993 Vilmart, Champagne brut "Coeur de Cuvee" (magnum size) was extraordinary.
Rinaldi, Cavallotto, Aldo Conterno...all in big formats. Heavenly.
For those special wines, special food was the most appropriate. We got Chef Gary Menes in the kitchen! Yaaay. He's one of the most talented chefs I know in LA. Gary and Wesley did an amazing job with all the dishes. I wish I could have taken pictures of all the food. I can't remember how many slices of jiggly pork belly I ate. The picture is beef tri-tip, which was finished in the special outdoor oven.
It was a beautiful birthday party and we all had a blast!
