Went up to the Kittle House for lunch yesterday...if you have never been or not recently, you are missing out. The new chef is very good. Lunch is $22 for a 3 course prix fixe, which had a choice of salmon or short ribs yesterday as the main. A bargain...anyways, we drank a 2003 Tardieu Laurent hermitage Blanc that was good, not great, for me. I had ordered the 2000, which they were out of, so we had the 2003. If you see any 2001 of this wine, for cheap, BUY IT.
The wine list at KH is still a treasure trove of bargains. Not be missed. Rhone and Burgundy still contain many RIDICULOUS deals that merit some serious attention. I love being so close to something this special.
For dessert, I noticed a half btl of 1993 Chappellet LH Chenin Blanc for $45 on the list. The first one was corked (RATS) but the second one was pretty spectacular stuff. 16 year old btl that did not reveal its true age. It was rich and sweet, but def not overpowering. I enjoyed it immensely. Never had even seen a btl.
Do they still make this stuff?
