That is the compromise you have to make when loving natural wine. Otherwise we can drink some wines from any large scale producer and have a consistent yet not sublime bottle at that price.jjoakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00550722068996332424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-48177968775012470222009-08-17T06:11:49.066-04:002009-08-17T06:11:49.066-04:00Brooklyn guy,

I feel that wine is alive and can simply go through dormant phases. This being said, I would be curious to know what phase you drank the wine in if you can remember? <br /><br />cheersvinosseurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01589504463124738079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-51353655293325351622009-08-16T19:09:54.652-04:002009-08-16T19:09:54.652-04:00hi Vinosseur - interesting point. perhaps i opened...hi Vinosseur - interesting point. perhaps i opened one on a root day or something.Brooklynguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16321573602782343974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-47189429574986263612009-08-15T18:26:44.583-04:002009-08-15T18:26:44.583-04:00Had my 3rd bottle of the 08 last night...haven'...Had my 3rd bottle of the 08 last night...haven't had a bad one yet, although they have been a bit different. The thing that always gets me (in a good way) in the CRB Sauvignon is the minerality...so strong on the nose...love it!Timothy Lockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02382134553586111733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-84534485087576083932009-08-15T15:24:16.309-04:002009-08-15T15:24:16.309-04:0015.99 at Young's Fine Wines in Manhasset NY15.99 at Young's Fine Wines in Manhasset NYAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-77983349133143581672009-08-14T21:55:38.625-04:002009-08-14T21:55:38.625-04:00Farmers/growers used man made fertilitzers and pes...Farmers/growers used man made fertilitzers and pesticides, each were/are exteremly effective on increasing yields and preserving the harvest. It also yielded a homogenized product. <br /><br />Cutting back or eliminating man made chemicals is intended to restore variety to the vineyard. This is bound to lead to increase in variability and not just the positive kind. Wine makers are also early in the learning curve.TWGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02592548268341500443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-47686085688803951092009-08-14T12:02:52.943-04:002009-08-14T12:02:52.943-04:00Hey,

It was nice to read your review on the wine and I am doing what I can to get a hold of a few bottles to taste.<br /><br />Regarding bottle variation, I too find bottle variation when I drink wines that lean towards natural and can't help to wonder why myself.<br /><br />I am not someone who follows the biodynamic lunar calender, but I wonder if the wine that was uninspiring was tasted on the "wrong day"? Do you have experience with this?<br /><br />Or perhaps that particular bottle needed a few days to open as each bottle has it's own individual "personality" when it comes to "natural" wines.<br /><br />Just a few thoughts!<br />-cheersvinosseurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01589504463124738079noreply@blogger.com
