@Matt Perlman wonderful to read five years later it’s still going strong.

Oh yeah, Vatan is the Juice!
Domaine Vacheron
Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc 2021
High acidity and intensely mineral.
This tastes like wet river rocks and farmers market greens.
Could drink this all day!! — 3 days ago

Clos du Papillon Savennières Chenin Blanc 2015
No flaws, but no real excitement either. Even the aromatics were a bit underwhelming. — 21 days ago

Domaine Huet
Le Mont Demi-Sec Vouvray Chenin Blanc 2002
Brilliant. It’s faded and lost its way. But I love it. You won’t. Unless you understand what it’s like to have too old chenin that is of the highest caliber. Is it easy drinking? It’s not. Do I love it? I do. 2002 — 15 days ago
Faded? I’m almost shocked…thought a few decades in bottle (my favorite Huet bottling, I think) wouldn’t hurt too much. I guess I better have at it, then!!@Timothy Eustis
I bet I would still love it.
Pascal Jolivet
Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc
Lovely, smooth, citrusy, very good on its own as an aperitif but rich enough to pair with light apps (crudités, cheese, and fruit) as well as with shellfish and simple salads. — 4 days ago
Clos Rougeard
Saumur Champigny Cabernet Franc 2013
Fine tasting you had
Fine cellars, generous friends @Peter van den Besselaar

Transcendent experience—waves of honey, apricot, salted caramel, white button mushroom, waxy and viscous without being at all ponderous. Remarkably fresh for its age — 20 days ago
