I loved it the first time I was there, but a tour from someone who lives there would be awesome.Brooklynguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16321573602782343974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-30889515603379730372007-12-10T10:39:00.000-05:002007-12-10T10:39:00.000-05:00Ten days later...Hey great writeups!

I really loved that Hebrart and echo your father's statement -- even after a couple of hours this seemed to be getting better and better.<BR/><BR/>I hope I could do as good a job hosting you for a Montreal visit. (Wine stores state-run and monopolistic, not cozy and charming... sorry!)Marcushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02221624021529319291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-40010538205217714682007-12-04T09:23:00.000-05:002007-12-04T09:23:00.000-05:00once, in a wine store, i tasted a corked bottle of...once, in a wine store, i tasted a corked bottle of lambrusco. i know this because i tasted the bottle, didn't care for it, and then the manager tasted it, made a face, and said this is corked. she opened a new one which i liked much better, and i tasted them again side by side. then it was obvious. i am not sure whether or not i would think it was corked, unless it was horribly corked, if this happened at home. but i appreciate your comments and suggestions steve and davis, and i will keep thinking about this, and go back to Moore bros for another bottle.Brooklynguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16321573602782343974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-59673304964040100292007-12-03T21:37:00.000-05:002007-12-03T21:37:00.000-05:00Neil,Steve's comments are on the mark, yet corkine...Neil,<BR/>Steve's comments are on the mark, yet corkiness can be subtle enough as to go undetected by those, as he suggests, that aren't yet tuned into its signs. I can't say that your description of the Diebolt-Vallois screams "corked." However, "underarm" is definitely not a typical descriptor for this normally elegant, delicate bubbly. I don't think you had a sound bottle. Go back to the shop, tell them of your experience and ask for a replacement.<BR/>cheers,<BR/>David<BR/><A HREF="http://mcduffwine.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow">McDuff's Food & Wine Trail</A>David McDuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03274955351036700406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-79146008703789985972007-12-01T10:39:00.000-05:002007-12-01T10:39:00.000-05:00I heart Agrapart.I heart Agrapart.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-49161379543384459902007-11-30T20:55:00.000-05:002007-11-30T20:55:00.000-05:00"I don't think I would necessarily know if a wine ..."I don't think I would necessarily know if a wine is corked."<BR/><BR/>Oh yes you would. Maybe you've lucked out and haven't had to deal with a badly corked bottle of wine, but once you have, you'll know. Kind of fungal or moldy. And once you get a corked bottle of a wine you've previously enjoyed you'll get locked in on the telltale aroma. "Hey, this is not right," you'll say, and that contrasting experience really seals the deal as far as recognizing TCA is concerned. At least, that's how it was for me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
