Yesterday we tasted a vertical lineup of Silver Oak made by famed winemaker Daniel Baron. Daniel got his start in winemaking at Chateau Montelena where he worked for four years. After Chateau Montelena Daniel ended up in Bordeaux and met Jean Claude Berrouet, the winemaker at Petrus. This is what really launched Daniels carrier as he had the amazing opportunity to work with the famed 1982 vintage of Petrus.
Daniel was a wealth of information and was great at answering everyone’s questions as well as regaling us with some amazing stories.
To be paired with the wines we had Sharon Hage, former chef of York Street, cooking some absolutely delicious meals! My favorite was the veal served two ways, roasted and baked, over a white bean puree. Absolutely wonderful! Sharon really outdid herself with five courses of wonderful cuisine for the event.
