The Obamas hosted British prime minister David Cameron at a state dinner Wednesday night. And while much was made of the localish ingredients and menu, the menu had one notable omission: the wines served alongside.

Editor: The wine that was served in last night's White House state dinner were the following ....
* NV Thibaut-Janisson Monticello Brut, Virginia (appetizers)
* 2009 Peter Michael Ma Belle-Fille Knights Valley Chardonnay, California (crisped halibut with potato crust)
* 2008 Leonetti Cellar Walla Walla Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, Washington (bison Wellington)
* 2007 Iron Horse Vineyards Green Valley Russian Cuvée, California (steamed lemon pudding with huckleberry sauce)
Not a bad mix, with the 2009 Peter Michael Ma Belle-Fille Knights Valley Chardonnay being the one that appeals to me.
