oliove oil and chervil flowers
Glidden Point Maine Oysters with organic sorrel, corn puree, grilled

Pouilly Fume full of limestone chalk minerality, lemon lime citrus and
slightly floral notes.

Soy and Tartare of Toro served with a seaweed salad.
2006 Rex Hill Pinot Gris-Nice fresh pear flavors a bit of white peach

Always wanted to try the Dagueneau Silex. Is that the one that is
relatively expensive?

It is now! When I bought it I paid $60 at auction for what I'm
drinking now......which was before Didier's untimely demise.

Nice meal, Bill!
Lawrence, the Silex was the most expensive of Dagueneau's "standard"
dry bottlings, but only by a hair over the Pur Sang. Cheapest was
Blanc de Pouilly (also had another name in some years), then Buisson
Renard, then Pur Sang, then Silex. Maybe $40/$55/$70/$75 respectively
(before he died). But in a couple of vintages he also made a wine or
two with residual sugar in very limited quantities, and those were
more like several hundred dollars a bottle.

Thanks for the prices. I think these may be hard to come by before too
long.
