This months get together's theme was CA Central Coast Syrah and Champagne. We all know Oliver is partial to Syrahs and his wife Lisa is partial to Champagnes so this was no surprise. The day was perfect and sitting by the pool next to the golf course was ideal.
Interesting selection of wines. All the champagnes were good. Did like the Tattinger La Francaise and the J.Lassalle Chigney-Les-Roses. There were two Zaca Mesa Black Bear Syrahs. A 2000 which was over the hill but still drinkable and a 2004 which was much better. A 1997 Midnight Cellars showed what an old wine is but it was still good.
The host made grilled Tri Tip. I felt I was lucky to find a piece that still had a bit of pink on it. Oliver likes well done meat and I am the opposite as I like mine just this side of dead.
But it was a good tasting and the ambiance was great. Can't beat SoCal weather.
