Gah! Some of the most microbially flawed wine I can remember trying. Aroma of chicken broth and consistent taste. Poured down the drain.

Would love a Budweiser or PBR to cleanse my palate.

The Sancerre that wasn't. Full bodied, beautiful and totally unique -- like no other sauvignon blanc I've ever had.

So much better than the last bottle had from this producer. While the other, skelvedra, I think was volatile to a fault, this was simply oxidized and slightly funky with some semblance of classic Sancerre, stony, of the sea and yellow fruits.

A really fun vintage, chock full of grapefruit pith and tart kumquat. Much richer mouthfeel than I'm used to for Sancerre, but it is delicious.
