Hey Greg, make sure you store it somewhere dark...not in any light. Otherwise you lose the lavender color. I've got a couple of bottles in my liquor cabinet, but one out on display with some other bottles on the top of the cabinet. The one outside went clear after a few months, while the others still have that great color. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxthetrade Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Well, I need a break from the relatives Had some excellent vintage Champagne: and some over 40 years old Tawny Port, my favorite Port of all time: A perfect match with a cheese plate from Maitre affineur Antony and some selfmade Baguettes: The cheese is in a class of its own, if you ever get a chance to taste his cheese do it, you won't regret!

The cheese looks wonderful, but those home made baguettes look spectacular! The crust looks perfect. Hard to find a proper baguette anywhere other than a French bakery! Cheers!

Hard to find a proper baguette anywhere other than a French bakery! Thank you Parsad! It's almost impossible to get a really good baguette here if you don't make it yourself. It's not difficult to make them but takes some time, so I make them only on special occasions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked up the cheese monger, he is in Alsace, no? I don't know if this champagne is available in the US, it's a pretty small producer. The Clouets were scribes of the Kings and Napoleon gave them their land for faithful services. Bollinger is their direct neighbour. Even their entry level Grand Cru is at least as good as a Veuve Cliqout but cheaper. I have a 6l Methusalem bottle for New Year's Eve, which I'll celebrate with a couple of friends in Denmark this year. 5 hours ago, Dinar said: I looked up the cheese monger, he is in Alsace, no? 2 hours ago, Spekulatius said: I Never heard about Maître Anthony, but he appears to be the bomb, so to speak. They call him the pope of cheese : Yes, Maitre Antony is in Alsace, he's legend!! I have never had any other cheese that even comes close to his, for me he really is the pope (or god) of cheese! Usually you can only buy his cheese at his shop in Alsace or in a couple of Michelin star restaurants around the world. A few selected types may be available at some shops from time to time. I was told that Giscard d'Estaing was a huge fan and Otto von Habsburg a regular customer. I'm only able to order from him due to some lucky circumstances and a mutual friend.

It's true, you don't tell him what you want but he selects for you what is perfectly aged. I have tasted dozens of his cheeses and there was not a single one that wasn't perfect. His products are very affordable, if he wanted to maximze his profit he could easily charge three times as much (and I would pay it!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
