My mother and sister were visiting today from opposite corners of the world, so we pulled out all the stops and steamed lobster in shallots and white wine (Carly picked up the lobster in Halifax a couple days ago). We served it with a cream of corn (in season) and butter sauteed Chantrelle mushrooms that were freshly foraged and delivered today from our mushroom guy. Yes, that's right, we now have a mushroom guy. The food was really fresh and a blast to pick at. To go with, we opened the 2009 Macon - Uchizy, Climat La Martine from Bret Brothers. A white Burgundian wine that comes from East facing, 50+ year old vines, hand picked and oak aged for 11 months. Toasted hazelnut and pear of the nose, with lots of fruit, acidity and minerality on the palate. Lush mouth feel. Very balanced. Fun all around.
