W's Wine Party

Each year W throws a wine party that has not only spectacular wines, but also features a tableful of delicious foods. This year was no exception.



One of my favorites of the night was the salmon tartar (below) which was not only delicious but also plated so prettily :)

Then there is my always favorite, japchae (above). In fact J, while watching me pile some on my plate, asked "You are still obsessed with that dish?" ... "Yes. Yes I am."


And it wouldn't be a W wine party feast without the never disappointing homemade kim chee.




But don't forget about the wines! Besides the many various wines available to freely try W also had two special tastings lined up for us.

A Trio of Champagne:
1. Deutz Brut Classic
2. Louis Roederer Brut Premier
3. Vilmart Brut Grand Reserve

And a horizontal tasting (same year, different either wineries or vineyards) from the winery Produttori del Barbaresco, vintage 2005, from vineyards:
1. Riserva Montestefano
2. Riserva Asili
3. Riserva Rabaja

Thanks again W for being a wonderful host and sharing your tasty wines with us!
