Vin de Constance Natural Sweet Muscat à Petits Grains 2011
A fitting tribute @Daniel Martinez-Cardenas carry on his legacy by continuing to enjoy wines that you had together and toast him even though he's not with you. It will keep his memory and your shared love for wine alive. One of my favorite toasts is to absent friends: "raise a glass to those we love and miss so dear, absent friends who we hold so dear"
@Bill Bender Amen to that.
I screwed that toast up @Daniel Martinez-Cardenas the final line should be "who can't be here" but you get it. Cheers to Ed 🍻

Les Chasseignes Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc 2015
This producer makes awesome single-vineyard Sancerre. In early 2016 we were able to taste Les Desmalets, Les Chailloux and Les Denisottes, all from barrel sample bottles ahead of release. We didn't get to try this site, but would have like to. The Les Chailloux and Les Denisottes hit our palates best, but I was only able to land the Les Denisottes (one case), the other bottle never came into the MA market. 😕
@Severn Goodwin That's cool, do you know the producer personally?
@Daniel Martinez-Cardenas No, but I'd sure like to! I'm always curious about what wines never leave the property, or region, I'm guessing they'd be delicious based on my experiences so far.
