France on Snooth
We did a tasting last weekend and opened a
"2004 Louis Jadot Clos Vougeot " -
guys this burgundy is so elegant so well balanced - its like a velvetty caress of the most passionate lips ... you can taste the supple nuances of the grape and terroir as your tounge swirls around in her innate beauty ... you feel her warmth drip down your molars as your tounge explores the tannins ... as your lips gently suck down and you close your eyes to truly enjoy the passion you lose yourself to sheer extacy and joy .... she is so seductive - she will keep wanting you for more

We took our honeymoon (bike trip) through the Finger Lakes, and have had a number of trips to the wineries in the past. The best wines made in the Finger Lakes are Riesling and Gewurzrtraminer. The latter are generally...
The wine is deep, dense and opaquely red in color. There are layers of forward, moderately mouth-puckering tannins with decent enough pH balance to suggest structure and aging potential. Coffee, raspberry chocolate and...

Hi~i'm the new member..can anyone willing to tell me what type of wine can pair with this food: oysters served with fresh horseradish creme and lemon wedges...thank you
I agree with schellbe concerning Beaujolais, and you should try the AOC Chénas wines from Château des Jean-Loron. Here is the website : http://www.vins-de-bourgogne-sud.com You will find very original, typical and greedy wines.
