At Melbourne’s Bamboo House on Monday 27 May at what was rescheduled as a stationary Duck Crawl. To accompany a magnificent array of duck inspired dishes were some great Pinots: 2009 Hospices de Beaune cuvee Nicholas Rolin; 2010 Farrside by Farr; 2009 Louis Max Morey St Denis Cru les Chaffots; 2009 Bass Phillip Premium 2010; 1999 Providence Miguet Reserve, and starting off with 2011 Pascale Juliuet Rose, Sancerre. The vote was with Provdence’s 1999 Miguet Reserve – still alive, vital and vibrant after 14 years. This was the wine that scooped the pool at the Tasmanian Wine Show in 2001, winning Best Pinot Noir and Wine of Show trophies. Judges Halliday and Hooke.
