Soooo, is an hour-long drive considered out-of-town enough to get in on the Basilicos thing? Would love to join if space available for me. Making this my birthday present since my birthday is on 3/30.

I’ve never heard of Xarel-Lo, no surprise. But, Wendy has never even heard of Xarel-Lo, BIG surprise. However, we are sitting back with a Chardonnay (K) by ViÃ±a Luis Felipe Edwards Ltda. Its a 2006 Terra Vega Chardonnay, Bin No 921 from Central Valley, Chile… peaches, long plate, some acidity, a little sweet. Dynamite with our local Quebec cheese of the evening… a creamy, slightly salty, “Fou Du Roy” (Kings Jester) made for raw cow’s milk.

Looks very good for Wendy and I to be there for the 29 March. I have set Friday and Monday aside as travel days. Saturday, WL and all our Vayner nation friends to-be and Sunday to poke around NJ and points North.

If you can book Wendy and I for the after WL restaurant that would be fantastic.

We will now start the search for an interesting Canadian wine to share with all… hopefully something no one out side of Quebec ever tried.

I guess we could used a recommendation on a nearby Motel.

Thatâ€™s it. Fun episode!

Q1: No, unless you’re counting Cava, but I loved the Lorenzon ribolla gialla if that’s any consolation.
Q2: I can’t, I have my own charity wine shindig to throw!

Xerel-lo, as a matter of fact my wife and I drank a case last summer. There is a little wine shop near our condo that sells unusual wines. I was walking by and the guy who works there told me I had to try it. The one I had was a Basque wine. I figured what the heck they sure as hell know how to cook so they must drink good wines. We loved it and went back and bought the rest of the case. The one we had showed a little sweetness, but not too much with some great flavors. And oh my, did it go great with Spanish food!

I’ve had Xarel-Lo, but not by itself. In cava of course, and a few other blends.

Would like to come, stuck in the plains of illinois though.
