[Chasse-Spleen]

La Granja Peruvian restaurant in Bensonhurst, a new boite and a BYOB. Just opened a Chapelle-St-Arnoux 2005 Vacqueyras, and it is singing right out of the gate. Also a nice Pouilly-Fume 2010 'Coteau des Girarmes.' The Vacqueyras is perfectly aged and was a steal at the little wine shop by the subway in Forest Hills. Let's see what happens with the food...

Sortons en boîte ce soir !

That's a new one on me. I like it.

Well done Agent Chasse.

Thanks Guys. The Pouilly-Fume is light and lovely with grass and smoke with a big and I mean big seafood platter. The Vacqueyras is sublime with rotisserie chicken, which is delicious. The wine is medium bodied, tannins mostly resolved, but just enough left to help the juicy, spicy chicken taste fantastic. There are cherries and spice on the nose and a subtle, long finish. Altogether a perfect combination.
