Wow! Mango, guava, coconut, pea shoot, galangal, autolysis. White Bordeaux-like density & texture. Easily will go 2-3 more years in a cool cellar. #touraine #sauvignonblanc #loirevalley — 3 years ago
Interesting #sauvignonblanc driven by melon and citrus. Med complexity, nice structure. Okay finish dominated by an intriguing bitterness and grip. #louisdressner #sarlpierreolivierbonhomme #touraine #loirevalley #ctbucklinwine — 4 years ago
It's hot. A great everyday wine for seafood, chicken, veggies, or just beating the heat. #touraine #sauvignonblanc — 4 years ago
Deep ruby hue with fuchsia rim. Medium tearing. Nose is complex with notes of stewed strawberry and rhubarb, cherry preserves, fresh mint, lemongrass, coriander, ginger, and delicate leather notes. Medium acidity, fresh raspberry and strawberry and crushed gravel notes on the palate. #chinon #cabernetfranc #touraine #lespenséesdepallus #bertrandsourdais #domainedepallus — a year ago
Coppery salmon color. Poppin’ underripe strawberry aroma. Zippy strawberry and nectarine that just doesn’t quit. Despite today’s snow, Spring is on! #roseallday #cabfranc #touraine #loirewine — 3 years ago

This #sauvingnonblanc is pale yellow in the glass. Smells of lemon zest, nectarines, Asian pear, celery brine. Round on the palate. Fine powdery minerals, orange zest. Super refreshing. Opened 3/25/17 — 4 years ago
Pic #3. 2013 Domaine Huet, Le Mont, Vouvray Sec. Golden hue with notes of melon, honeydew, cantaloupe, pear, white flowers, and grapefruit on the palate. Well-balanced and complemented the Lake Superior whitefish served in a mussel jus, with guanciale, and Brussels sprouts. Also in this pic is a tortellini enveloping a bite of good thunder cheese, tossed with zucchini agrodolce, baby corn, Swiss chard, and black trumpet mushrooms (which was paired with the Barbera on next pic, 4) #vouvray #cheninblanc #winesofloire #loirevalley #touraine — a year ago
Sour cherries, cassis, rhubarb and flint. Done in the 'natural', transparent way, so it's excellent chilled. Clean, fresh, explosive and glou-glou. #vincentricard #touraine #gamay #pineaudaunis — 3 years ago
A year like 2015 allows this cuvée to show at its best. Ripe, surprisingly good acidity (my issue with some Loire '15s), texturally perfect. Not your average, one-dimensional Touraine. #vincentricard #touraine #sauvignonblanc — 4 years ago

Love the mango flavor - pretty full bodied and rounded, some acidity but looking for more tension. #touraine — a year ago
