I spent a long weekend in NYC (fabulous!) and arrived home yesterday afternoon. Having no plans for dinner nor any intention of cooking after the red-eye flight, I persuaded my husband to order-in from our favourite local Thai restaurant. When he asked me what I wanted to drink with dinner, I mentioned that I could always have the diet ginger ale I brought back from the US, but longingly eyed the bottle of bubbly that was also in the fridge. He's no slouch, out it came!!
This bottle was the Janisson Blanc de Noirs that I had ordered from the Champagne Warehouse. I was really looking forward to trying it because we tend to like blanc de noirs. This one was surprising - it had very nice stone fruit flavours with a slightly lemon-sour finish. But it had a honey-sweetness to it that we weren't expecting, one that I might not have loved if I were drinking the wine on its own, but that served it well with our spicy curry. So it's definitely a 'go-with-food' wine for us.
That said, I didn't like it at all with the M&Ms we shared for dessert, so it's possibly not a 'go-with-chocolate' wine.
