I've just stood up a bottle of 87 mouton and a 98 Sperss
 

to serve with a 4 bone prime rib for dinner with friends.
We'll start with a couple bottles of lesser stuff before dinner (probably 2bottles each of '01 Heitz and '02 Worthy)
For desert we'll have some creme brule with a bottle of Tokaji Aszú 5 puttonyos and perfectly made french press coffee.

Should be a good night.

I thought it was best to serve the good stuff first since people's taste buds get messed up after a few glasses of the lesser.

At least that is what I learned at bible study.

dear god make it stop

I can get bottles of the that stuff in Budapest for about 35.00 each.
How much you have to pay to get it in the states ??

tokaji is nice - I like sweet wines

Wouldnt you go with something spicier then the Mouton Cadet with ribs? I mean its not bad but I like spicy wine, more Merlot in it.

incorrect.
when Jesus turned water into wine at the wedding, the guests all commented on how cool it was to server the better wine last.:winkwink:

Anyway, I prefer to drink the best stuff with dinner, not before.
Sometimes we'll start with Martinis but I expect this night to be a long one so wine only. :winkwink:

Yeah I bought it too in Hungary its a lot cheaper there - I guess they pay at least 80 in the US for a bottle

actually, its not all that pricey but I do love it for dessert. I think its about 50.00 a half bottle.

That sounds really good.

Are you making fun of me with the "Cadet" thing?:winkwink:
I wouldn't eat ribs at a dinner party. Too messy. but yeah, you could go with something a bit bigger like a cali cab.

I wanted to buy some fresh foie gras for an appetizer but you need 36 hour lead time. I threw this together late last night so I couldn't pull it off.

just as well, between prime rib and foie gras, it would probably stop my heart before desert.

Right, because usually people too drunk to appreciate the good stuff by then.

Nope thats what its called isnt it, or do you mean a Lafite?

I love ribs, never eat them cause its a pain, its messy you cant properly talk at a table with ppl eating them plus its kinda considered junkfood here.

This is what you got right?

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

nice - thats something different

ps thats a pretty cool price

its been in my cellar for years. I certainly didn't pay that much for it.

hmm shame I looked at www.1855.com but they dont deliver in the US, they have amazing wines, cheap and some really rare ones too

just saw its like 250 here, premier cru nice, well make sure you post how it was :)

Mouton Cadet hehe. Thats a cool site that I wasnt aware of, I think I may have to investigate some of those a bit further.

I wish you hadnt shown me that site.... :(

Bang goes my holiday.....

What, no 1787 Chateau d'Yquem? I'm staying home.

after the tokaji we almost broke out some 1865 port. Would that bring you out?

Sadly, the 87 mouton was corked and all I had ready at room temp. as a substitute was a young 97 mouton. The situation kinda sucked but we managed.
I fell asleep on the patio and woke up all duey. of course, the meat was fucking outstanding.

You cooked the meal yourself, sounds like a wonderful experience

I did. pretty simple once you douse it in liquid smoke and garlic.:thumbsup

Bravo cooking meat well is art many take for granted.

I'm still moving slowly as to not put stress on my now constricted arteries.:winkwink:

This thread makes me slobber

Oh, fine. But I'm not happy about it. http://pissyourself.com/smilies/qqb013.gif

I just chugged a glass of Arizona Diet Green Tea. What a rush!!

in my new spirit of helpfulness, I'll tell you where the rest of my acvtive threads are so its easier for you to make nonsensical posts in them.:thumbsup
1 over on jbm, 1 at Pc, 2 here, and 1 at awh:thumbsup

mmmm Creme Brule you really know how to eat ;)

that's what my scale keeps telling me

Don't worry - having an IQ of over 10, I'm capable of finding your nonsensical post requiring threads when I need them. Thank you so much for the offer though! :upsidedow

BTW, anyone who puts liquid smoke on even crappy hamburger should be drawn and quartered!!

In your new spirit of kindness and helpfulness, could you invite me over for dinner sometime? :winkwink:

:thumbsup the only way to do it.

swapping wives with the other couple comming?

I agree with everything there except the prime ribs.

Here in south, our favorite redneck Louis Grizzard said "It ain't a BBQ unless you have be hosed down aftwards." :) We love our trashy junkfood ribs here. Hell, I've had them served right next to filet mignon, lobster tails and crab legs at an upscaled catered BBQ :thumbsup And here in the south DO NOT user the word "BBQd" with the word "beef" - it must be pork. Babyback ribs are personally the only kind I make. I roast them in the oven first then put them on a charcoal grill (hardwood charcoal only - not that crap you buy in the grocery store) with some BBQ sauce.

I've also seen people eat them with a fork and knife, lol. I mean c'mon........

Damn, now I want ribs and my grill is sitting out in the yard covered in plastic while they work on my house :(
