ERLEND'S BIRTHDAYDINNER


For E's birthday we prepared a hole CHICKEN, the best till this date I think. Even after most of the meat was gone, the room still smelled great from the BONES. Resulting in E fulfilling a long time dream; making his own chicken stock of of the chicken bones, water, wine and some vegetables. Even though the food tasted great; we pared the chicken with white-truffle-butter-sweet-potato-fries and a fresh salad, the HIGHLIGHT of the evening was maybe the wines. We started of with a Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Brut from a CHAMPAGNE PRODUCER that E has been very interested in ..and excited about lately; JACQUES SELOSSE (more about that producer and his wines in a blogpost I'm planning; a champagne guide for dummies) and then went over to a PINOT NOIR, a 2007 Aurelien Verdet, Nuits St. Georges, 1er Cru La Richemone. Both of them very tasty and definitively worthy of E's birthday celebration. More about AURELIEN VERDET here.
