November 16, 2006 – Live from Hotel le Richebourg in Vosne-Romanée.
I love this place – stayed here last November, will return often. Simply great – I highly recommend it. Had a great dinner with Thiébault Huber last night at La Part des Anges in Beaune, a new wine-bar/bistro – great risotto with fresh black truffles, and a bottle of ’73 Pommard Rugiens that was devine, despite the “off vintage”. Tasted thru all of Thiébaults 05s – they are very strong across the board, from the Bourgogne to the Fremiets and Bertins – killer wines. As always, the only problem is that there will not be enough of them. I’m off to breakfast, and then meetings today with René Leclerc, Lamarche, Aleth Girardin, and a potential new member of the team. More soon…
