Peter Michael 2002 Le Moulin Rouge Pinot Noir - Magnum
Robert Parker - 91 Points!
The 2002 Pinot Noir Le Moulin Rouge (325 cases) displays the same floral characteristics as the 2001 along with striking elegance. Although more superficial on the palate, without the depth and power of the 2001, it is still an elegant, complex beauty that should drink well for 5-6 years.

Iron Horse Wedding Cuvée 2002
Sparkling BN#163998
This is our Blanc de Noirs. It is made from predominately Pinot Noir and has a beautiful, pale-peach hue. Rich and creamy, like pure strawberries and cream, this is without doubt the most romantic of our Sparklings. It is dangerously easy to drink. A favorite for many, Iron Horse is probably best known for this cuvée. Food Pairing: Marries perfectly with frisee salad with diced bacon and a Pinot Noir vinagrette, Chinese chicken salad, scrambled eggs and caviar, rock shrimp and potato fritta, mushroom dishes such as a grilled Portobello sandwich or wild mushroom risotto, poached salmon - hot or cold, and best of all, chocolate dipped strawberries.
The Wine Enthusiast Maybe it’s all marketing, but this does seem to be an ideal wedding- toast bubbly. There’s something for everyone. Despite being almost all Pinot Noir, it’s light and delicate, with a crisp elegance and a fine mousse, and that effervescent pleasure that only a fine bubbly provides. Score: 91. —Steve Heimoff, December 31, 2005.

Wonder how many bottles of Peter Michael Liz can put away? Did she hold out for the pricey stuff? Did they bring the Phantom IV with them? Or the Bently State Limo? What's her ride?
Is George drinking again? I don't blame him. Stuttering in front of women can make you drink.
