Serge Hochar of Chateau Musar

Last night, Pioneer Wine Company and Broadbent Selections hosted celebrated winemaker Serge Hochar and his son Marc of Chateau Musar for a wine tasting and dinner at The Tasting Room-Uptown. I forgot to take any pictures of the food, but most notably, we were served some delicious lamb that paired well with both the whites and the reds and a decadent cheese plate to end the meal. The main reason I failed at picture taking was that as soon as I met Serge, I was immediately drawn in by both the man and his wines. I have certainly met some charming winemakers along the way but his charisma is on a different level. I was fortunate enough to be seated by him while we tasted back in time through the 2004, 1999, 1990 and 1977 of his rouge and the 2005, 2001, 1981 and 1975 of his white. As we went through the tasting, some guests wanted to ask technical questions about the winemaking to which they did not get an answer. Serge would instead ask questions back like a good teacher leadin
