Usually we can't taste each other's recommendations cause of your weird SAQ situation, but I'm glad it worked out this time.Brooklynguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16321573602782343974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-5389004524101091242007-10-23T22:35:00.000-04:002007-10-23T22:35:00.000-04:00Hi Brooklyn.

There was a bunch of us here (incl. a top winemaker and a top winebuyer) - everyone agreed that the Movia ruled the day with Sanct Valentin a close second and Dagueneau third. (I did cheat by opening the Movia a day earlier...but most Movia's need extra time, despite Ales' releasing them as late as he does.) Even I was surprised at the results.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-34051469746080794592007-10-18T22:59:00.000-04:002007-10-18T22:59:00.000-04:00Hi Andrew - i admire your curiosity, especially af...Hi Andrew - i admire your curiosity, especially after my review of the wine. Let us know if you try it.<BR/><BR/>Jack - you're totally right, I would never write off any type of wine based on one taste. this was, though, a bad first impression. you'd have to talk to Deetrane (and I wish that you would) regarding his choice of this wine over the others you mention. <BR/><BR/>Dagueneau not as good - wow. And Cotat too?!? That's quite an endorsement of the Italians. I hope I have an opportunity to taste one sometime.Brooklynguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16321573602782343974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-36558672279177518902007-10-18T02:02:00.000-04:002007-10-18T02:02:00.000-04:00Judging all Friuli SB by a single bottle from the ...Judging all Friuli SB by a single bottle from the heat-wave year of 2003 doesn't seem right. Too bad you didn't choose a 2002 Movia, a 2004 Pierpaolo Pecorari Vigne Kolaus, or a 2005 Venica & Venica Collio Ronco delle Mele.<BR/><BR/>Besides these three, I'm been really loving a variety of Alto Adige sauvignon blancs this year. Sanct Valentin remains the most distinctive, but Laimburg and Kellerei Kaltern Premstaler were also excellent.<BR/><BR/>The Loires I tasted this year from Edmund Vatan, the Cotats and Dagueneau, amongst others, haven't been as good as the Italians.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-84054201125468246432007-10-17T23:46:00.000-04:002007-10-17T23:46:00.000-04:00Neil,If you like Loire SB, NZ style may be too gra...Neil,<BR/>If you like Loire SB, NZ style may be too grassy for you though.<BR/>Regarding the 'Deetrane special', the 2000 vintage is available here but it is not cheap:<BR/>http://www.turnpikewines.com/sku11736.html<BR/>Price aside, I am now really curious about this 'artificially flavored' SB. Wish I have a bottle myself for future food pairing cuz it sounds so different from the others.RougeAndBlanchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16929348100653484353noreply@blogger.com
