What's Pressoir Drinking? (Club Member BYO Edition...)

We had another lovely Club Member BYO dinner this past Monday evening in the backyard of Popina in Brooklyn. A great way to celebrate the arrival of Autumn! Many great bottles were opened, some more messily than others (scroll down for a short video…) but my favorite of the evening was the Domaine Leflaive Bienvenue-Bâtard-Montrachet. Tremendous depth and texture, but still ever so precise and focused! The wine seemed to last forever on the palate, truly a tremendous bottle.
