Great inexpensive wine can only exist if nobody knows about it - tell too many people and, well, you have to start looking elsewhere (been secretly stocking up on Baudrys when I see 'em...)Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07747056255576335926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-71950224995300068012008-10-08T05:21:00.000-04:002008-10-08T05:21:00.000-04:00Love that 05 Chidaine too! and I think you are on ...Love that 05 Chidaine too! and I think you are on the money about aging it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-65064285516411636552008-10-02T23:54:00.000-04:002008-10-02T23:54:00.000-04:00I love Cab franc!I love Cab franc!Vinogirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10145696108646897751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-65294287170615568602008-10-02T21:58:00.000-04:002008-10-02T21:58:00.000-04:00Vive Chidaine!!Vive Chidaine!!NAPTOWNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08360968219891637505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-24356757971301467452008-10-02T15:36:00.000-04:002008-10-02T15:36:00.000-04:00Was the Pépière really only $15?

We decided to shuck 'em and have them for a snack right there at the store. He opened the 2006 Domaine de la Pépière Muscadet Clos des Briords. From a sip of wine to a slurp of the briny juice, back to the wine and a finish with the clam...it was positively seemless. A congruous pairing not soon forgotten.kevin gilmorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11571358628875708932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-74134332551613845842008-10-01T12:45:00.000-04:002008-10-01T12:45:00.000-04:00Mmmm.

Even though I had it after an awesome early 1990s Tempier Rouge, the Chidaine was such a show stopper. A few people poo-poo Chidaine, saying he expanded too quickly, but I think the lot of '05s still on the market are outstanding. The Vouvray Les Argiles stands out in my mind, as does the Clos Baudoin. <BR/><BR/>Same goes for the Baudry, I had the '07 a few weeks back and it was showing quite well for the vintage, but I'm sad to see my les Granges @ $20+. I agree that $20 is the new $15...too bad the $20 I've invested is now $15. (Just kidding! My stock is in Champagne.)<BR/><BR/>Great blog--keep it up!Martyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15215661060712573435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-81721165759318152912008-10-01T11:51:00.000-04:002008-10-01T11:51:00.000-04:00Coincidentally, we had an '05 Tuffeaux on Saturday...Coincidentally, we had an '05 Tuffeaux on Saturday night. And I couldn't agree more with your observations. I also happen to have two bottles left. It will not be easy to give them the time they deserve. Also tried the '06 on Sunday (our '05 didn't make the second day; didn't even make dessert). It's not as rich and bold as the '05, but it's very good. On a related note, I just picked up a Pétillant Rosè (Touraine) from Chidaine at my local shop. Just arrived in inventory, so maybe something to keep an eye out for back there.<BR/>Cheers, J DavidDirector, Lab Outreachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10624832393197386064noreply@blogger.com
