NYC Wretched Excess (continued)



Last night, I was the guest of Tom & Pat Shiah at the 80th Chapitre of the Confrerie des Chevalier du Tastevin, Sous-Commanderie de New York. It was at the Pierre Hotel. Tastevins' motto: "Jamais en Vain, Toujours en Vin." Met the chapter's Grand Senechal Will Zeckendorf and a few other of my friends from the Opera Club and Accenture. The lavish reception (caviar, foie gras, etc.) and dinner were accompanied by wonderful Burgundy wines from the club's 10,000 cellar. Still, the evening paled in comparison to the wedding reception & dinner that Tom & Pat had at the Pierre for their daughter, Christine.

Wines:
La Caravelle Premier Cru Brut Champagne
Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru "Les Chenevottes", Domaine Bernard Morey et Fils 2002
Beanue 1er Cru Blanc, Clos de Mouches, Domaine Joseph Drouhin 2000
Bienvenues-Batard-Montrachet Grand Cru, Paul Pernot et ses Fils 2000

  1. I do not know Tom and Pat, but I am quite sure that they are not the clients of Madoff.

  2. Tom was quite smart and put everything into cash before the crash.
