While we done eat pork or seafood, this event reads like a wonderful experience.

For 19 CHF, this is ridiculously good. Obviously very young, but fantastically drinkable with cola and blackberry on the nose. More minerality on the palate, and some finely grained tannin, but fantastic acidity and density. Yum. — 2 years ago

Excellent example of a mild bodied French cab franc. Rich flavor but still very drinkable. — 5 months ago

Long acids. Very good. Bought from a great little wine shop in Petworth in the South Downs here in the UK, just after having a fantastic lunch at a spot called E. Street Bar & Grill which is a terrible name for an absolutely exemplary little bistro with great seafood and wine. And with the perfect slightly surly but extremely accommodating and professional French maitre d. Anyway, if you happen to pass through check it out. — 2 years ago
