Description
Can white wines age? In general, not for as long as their red equivalents – but there are exceptions. Anne McHale MW has chosen a fine selection this evening to explore this concept in more detail. You will experiment with aged whites from Champagne, Alsace, Burgundy, Rioja, Vouvray, Tokaji and a very fine example from Bordeaux in the form of Ch. Haut-Brion’s famous white. The evening will end with a sublime 1973 vintage Madeira. Head Chef Stewart will rise to the challenge and design a suitably creative menu to match.
