A bottle of chilled white would have been irresistible. Perhaps a Dr. Barolet Meursault from the very good vintage of 1937. Perfect with a selection of cheeses, this would have made the afternoon a very enjoyable one indeed! The Wine Shop (Le Bistro), 1909, Edward Hopper I can imagine a fantastic bottle of red bur- gundy being enjoyed at this bistro. The 1887 Bouchard Pere Clos Vougeot would’ve been a top pick during that time frame. With 22 years of age on it, it would be a delicious glass of Pinot Noir. Readers, note that my last sto- ry [“Drinks? Ahoy!,” July/August 2018] on boat wines mentions the Le Charmel Rose by Master Wines. Well, owner and winemak- er Melvyn Master was lucky enough to have tasted the Bouchard Pere Clos Vougeot back in 1966 during a dinner with the other-world- ly Michael Broadbent! I imagine a taste would offer a hint of sweetness in the nose due to the ripeness of the vintage with aromas of rasp- berry and blackberry, a bit of earth and truffle. And it would be medium-bodied on the palate with a bit of meatiness and a lingering finish.
