I know it's completely against our sensibilities to accept huge industrial wine groups, but I believe that Valdespino has seriously benefited from the purchase and subsequent move, with both vineyards and cellar receiving necessary renovations and improvements. Also, the house could not be in better hands than those of Eduardo Ojeda, who has the knowledge, the passion, the commitment and, importantly, the financial resources to maintain the integrity of houses like Valdespino and La Guita. If anything, Valdespino will continue to widen the gap in quality between their wines and the others in the region today. Furthermore, Ojeda is one of the two partners in Equipo Navazos, and one could even go so far as to say that La Bota would not exist if it weren't for the current circumstances.Peter Liemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07849691624742817468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-40372042851205854972010-05-25T11:12:16.343-04:002010-05-25T11:12:16.343-04:00I liked the 08 Lapierre, but then again I found no...I liked the 08 Lapierre, but then again I found no fault with the 07.2GrandCruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16677145557411276062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-58883015861088306652010-05-25T08:41:12.816-04:002010-05-25T08:41:12.816-04:00we saw the baudry rose' at the wine store arou...we saw the baudry rose' at the wine store around the corner, i was SO curious. sounds yum...Tracie P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16220560234729129259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-50439452722276608672010-05-23T23:54:35.771-04:002010-05-23T23:54:35.771-04:00Great line up.

I picked up a few bottles last time I visited the winery, but it was a little disheartening to see one of the best sherry labels owned by such an industrial giant as Grupo Estevez. I guess you don't go on Jerez winery tours for the romance.Jakehttp://www.cherriesandclay.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-62310342389248249192010-05-23T11:42:59.582-04:002010-05-23T11:42:59.582-04:00You're scaring me with those Lapierre notes. ...You're scaring me with those Lapierre notes. I haven't touched 2007 for awhile and wonder if this might be the wrong time to be dipping into 2006? I had a 2005 a year or so ago, and it was not happy -- could have been a bad bottle, but I have faith they'll come around.Cliffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04254237968195126520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-42066218479292146912010-05-22T10:32:44.839-04:002010-05-22T10:32:44.839-04:00Also had the 08 Lapierre last week. mine was a ve...Also had the 08 Lapierre last week. mine was a very good bottle, but didn't show as well on the 2nd night - fell a bit flat.

Foillard is one of my favorites as well, gamey and more intense. <br />Cheers,<br />Benbenhttp://www.67wine.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-86448029084636246052010-05-20T23:02:17.190-04:002010-05-20T23:02:17.190-04:00Brooklynguy,

I have been on a mission down here in Southern California to turn people on to both. I agree with you on the Lapierre wines. When they are on, they are really on and overall I have had better luck with the 08s than the 07s. Foillard's wines seem to be more consistent. As you mentioned, the "Corcelette" is definately more tightly wound than the "Cote du Py" and will need more time. If you want to get really wacky, try Lapierre's "Cuvee Marcel Lapierre". The fruit comes from Cote du Py and in Berkeley we lovingly refer to it as Foillard Morgon in a Lapierre bottle.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03939538131518157144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-20909370391792291962010-05-20T22:39:44.706-04:002010-05-20T22:39:44.706-04:00I like the laundry lists!I like the laundry lists!Timnoreply@blogger.com
