Haven't tried anything really new lately. Over the last week or so, consumed '05 Perrin & Fils CdR Villages Vinsobres, '01 Zaccagnini Montepulciano d'Abrusso, '01 Anitinori CC Riserva, Pertinace Barbaresco Marcarini, NV Louis Valbray Saumur (from magnum), '04 Patrick Lesec CdP Chasse Temps, '01 Oscar Brillant Sancerre Les Aubiers. All very nice juice.

I'd be interested in hearing more about the Saumur Hotwine.
- hotwine - 01-15-2008
Wonders, I didn't post an individual note on the Saumur because it was consumed in the festive environment of niece's wedding in Houston. I provided three magnums of the Valbray, of which only one was used... and that primarily for Mimosas. Only half a bottle was needed, with the other half claimed by the happy couple days later, and they reported it was still bubbly and fresh. Paid $18.99 per at Costco and bought eight bottles, so still have five in the cellar and SIL now has two in hers. A wonderful bargain at that price! I had a glass while the ladies were preparing a big luncheon the day following the wedding, and was very pleased with its character.... very much like a true Champagne. I'll buy more if given the chance. Can't beat it for large groups, especially as a mixer (the ladies wanted to use my Taittinger for that purpose, and I prevented that. The Saumur worked perfectly.)

Don't you mean you bought 8 bottles of Samurai(plural)?? [img]http://wines.com/ubb/wink.gif[/img] WW
- hotwine - 01-15-2008
Nope.... this one won't lop you head off.
- wondersofwine - 01-15-2008
Thanks HW for the notes. Does sound like a bargain (and preserved your Taittinger)
