Pittsburgh Wine Festival 2009




Chef Eric "Spudz" Wallace, radiant as ever












Guests line up for glasses of the good stuff













Too little time to sample all the fine wines








The absolute highlight of the wine festival is the chance to once again taste Chateau D'Yquem. 2006 from Bordeaux, France. The best way to describe this wine is to say it's like licking the nipple of God. I go back to this table again and again. Nothing like a good Sauternes, and D'Yquem is the king. The only white wine to deserve 1st Growth status. This is the wine referred to when referencing "the nectar of the gods".
