They were also kind enough to provide me with the wine list and notes for the evening, and with a hand-written menu from tonights meal, copied here. I have the notes and tasting notes on each wine as well, just not typing that much right now. Comment if you have questions! :-)
Aperfit: Kir Royale
Notes: Kir is named after Cannon Kir, who was the mayor of Dijon from 1945 to 1968 and who lived until the ripe age of 96. It is made with Creme de Cassis and the local white wine of the area - usually Aligote.
