We're eating there in 11 days, so I can fill you in on what they have if that's soon enough.Saphire said:Has anyone had any nice wine at Le Cellier? The cheese plate for dessert sounds wonderful, and I am sure would be enhanced by a dry white wine. (my two favorite things, lol) There are no lists online, as far as I know. Do they offer regional wine? Thanks for any info!
As for my two favorites, it would have to be a game meat (venison, elk, buffalo, etc.) paired with a deep, dark, seductive red. Ahhh, yes. . .
We just dined there last week, and though the wine list was not very extensive, it did feature several Canadian wines both white and red. My wife had the J. Triggs cabernet which was full of berry notes and had a solid finish that meshed well with her NY strip (it was also the suggested pairing on the menu). I also opted for the suggested wine with my filet and wild mushroom risotto, the Charmes merlot. Frankly, it tasted a bit thin with my filet (it comes with a white truffle oil & herb beurre blanc), as it didn't have enough "muscle" to stand up to the rich sauce. It was still a good wine, just not a real good match for the filet. My wife's cab would have been a better choice (and since I'm a cab man, anyway, I'm doubling kicking myself!Saphire said:Has anyone had any nice wine at Le Cellier?

). Beyond the Canadian wines, they do have other selections, primarily from California if I'm remembering correctly. Good eats!
