INCREDIBLE LUNCH AND FORMAL NIGHT

We paid an additional $135 to participate in the Sommelier's Lunch, the best we'll have on this trip.  I showed up early, so got the best seat in the house.  Started with Moét & Chandon Champagne and a 2008 Dom Perignon, to accompany scallops and caviar appetizers.

The next course was Breaded Sweetbreads, artichoke hearts and truffle dressing, with a Meursalt Dessus 2019 White Burgundy.
A pause with raspberry sorbet Moet splash,
There were three main courses.  We selected the Lamp Loin with a 2018 Opus One.
The dessert was Lemon Tart and Mango Gelato with a Far Niente Dolce 2018, ending with petit fours.

Formal night, so I wore a tux.
Two reds and a white.
Caviar appetizer.
Dinner of truffles risotto, Beef Wellington and pasta.  Then cheeses (with chocolate sauce), dessert and petit fours.
I did nothing much else today.  Went to bed early.  Only walked 1737 steps.  Got to do better.
Tomorrow we have another wine tasting.
