Cépage's leadership decided to take Labor Day Weekend in the City of Sin. While we don't accept the doctrine of sin we understand its concept and see how it can contextually apply to Las Vegas. The trip's dossier was mostly to escape life's slings and arrows of which, sadly, there have been a few lately, but we also wanted to check out the wine scene which we envisioned would be a dry dirty desert of Bordeaux, Burgundy and California Cult Wine. Happily the scene seems to have evolved past that terrible and tawdry trinity to include, but not be limited to, the irresistible champagnes of Anselme Selosse. Here is an incomplete list of what was consumed followed by their appropriate scores on our 1 point scale.
Selosse Substance .09 points
Selosse Initial .06 points
Edmond Vatan Sancerre 2004 .04 points
Chave Hermitage 1994 .08 points
Dalle Valle Maya 2001 .06 points
Beaucastel 1994 .08 points
There were many other great wines, but most importantly nothing could compare to the company, the inordinate amount of time spent laughing, and the planning of our hostile takeover of Southern Wine and Spirits.
