Sitting in the restaurant a wide variety of exotic flavours reaches my nostrils from the busy kitchen in this Danish/French brasserie in the heart of Aalborg. A light scent of fjord, cream, parsley and boiling white blanc de blanc is coming at me through the thick kitchen door, enriching the air with its presence.
Just when I’ve concluded the chef is preparing my main course, the Maître d’ herself, a well trained sommelier of course, presents to me a 2005 Puilly Fuissé Grand Beauregard white burgundy wine. I order the wine. She slowly uncorks the bottle and then gently pouring a slight amount of it into a tasting glass just to check whether it is OK or not. It’s more than fine, and she resumes pouring the wine into my Bordeaux glass. I taste the wine.. Slowly opening the wine flinging the wine around adding the precious air to the sweet yet heavy and powerful white burgundy.
Now she serves me my meal. Mussels cooked with cream, white wine, parsley, spring onions and salt and pepper. I pick one of the mussels out of the cocotte with my fork and gently put the steaming mussel into my mouth.
Now I'm hungry and jealous - thanks!

I quite enjoyed reading that, and now I am also quiet hungry. I think it was very well written, and I got the feeling that it was my who was sitting in that restaurant.
