- VouvrayHead - 03-27-2010 $19 This is a nice sparkling chenin. It's not champagne-like, as the vintage Huet (I wonder if they could do an NV), but it's good. Pretty dry, but not austere, there's a nice nuttiness and stonefruit softness to this bubbly. Not real long in the finish, but I'd drink this for a weekend breakfast for under $20 any day. This is a good wine, and better than most Cremant de Loire. Stacks up well vs. the lovely Albrecht Alsace Cremant as well. - dananne - 03-28-2010 If you make it to these parts, our garden will provide the butternut squash, sage, and onion, our chickens will provide the eggs, and my wife and I will provide the resulting frittata if you'll bring the breakfast wine [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb/smile.gif[/img] - VouvrayHead - 03-28-2010 We will definitely be making it to those parts! Signed a lease in the Benton-Stephens neighborhood last week. Moving date is first week in June. - dananne - 03-29-2010 Congratulations, and I know you'll like Columbia. You know, if you travel from your neighborhood W on Broadway, you'll pass my school. - VouvrayHead - 03-29-2010 Yep, we both lived there in the past and like the town. I used to live on Ridgeway; I know where your school is. We'll have to discuss Montessori sometime over wine! Lily is all mine next year, but we're not so sure just what to do after that! |
