I didn't think the salad was all that orgasmic, but I can't believe you're not still drooling over the sauce on the John Dory.

My desert wine was a Chateau Raymond Lafon Sauternes 1986. If you're going to play with Sauternes, I'd also try the Bastor-Lamontagne, which is one of my favorites, and is available for usually a 'mere' 20-30 a half bottle.
