Two Century Wine Dinner

This was the line-up for the Two Century Wine Dinner that took place in December 2006. The dinner was so named because the sum of the age of the wines added up to 200. The champagne missed the photo, it was a Dom Perignon 1996. Three other wines were from that vintage including Smith-Haut-Lafitte Blanc, La Conseillante and Troplong-Mondot. Two came from the 1986 vintage: Palmer and Latour. Bringing up the rear was a trio from 1966 - Margaux, Haut-Brion and a Krohn Colheita 1966 Port.

No one would imagine that a short blog could do justice to these wines, hence the notable individuals would be dealt with separately in other tidbits. To say that this was a very special evening would definitely be a euphemism. With 3 first growths, 3 good vintages and three 40 year old wines, what more can you ask, ...... except perhaps for someone else to pay for you!
