Peking Duck at the Mandarin



WHO DOESN'T LIKE PEKING DUCK? So I see this ad that some chef from some famous Peking Duck restaurant in Beijing was going to be at Mandarin for two weeks, so I book it for the last day he was going to be there (I thought he needed some time to figure out using a gas oven versus the wood burning oven used in Beijing) Sommelier suggested a strong Californian chardonnay with the duck which was so good I would have ordered another bottle, but it was lunch. The skin with sugar was so good! Sorta like sauternnes cutting into the fat of foie grais.
