Too bad you can't really get away with that type of name in English. Guess we have to suffice with 'Big House' or 'Suckfizzle' or '10 Minutes by Tractor'." GregT: "It is a great name isn't it? Those other names just don't have the same panache. Even worse - Fat Bastard? The Bitch grenache? That should be a thread - names of wines. I happen to like the Two Hands names - Angel's Share, Bad Impersonator, etc." OK, so here's a thread on the worst and best names we've encountered for wines and wineries. To make it easier, names of beers and liquor, and photos of the worst labels, will also be accepted...    (hide)

Read moreNYT did an article about that too. Lots of talk about it on other boards too. I think there definitely is something. I just don't think it has to do with minerals finding their way up into the wine. And some people make that claim. Others are willing to forego that argument and simply state that they note something that reminds them of minerals in the same way they find something that reminds them of leather. I'll go along with that although I still think that's a little far-fetched because as always - which "mineral". Oh it makes my ears bleed.

Read moreFor C9dp (Il love the way you write it...), I highly recommend wines from this domain : !http://www.sommelier-international.com/images/FichesDegustations/31.jpg! Patrick Coste's Le Pointu http://www.domaine-le-pointu.com Red or white, theese wines are wonderful, perhaps top of the best of c9dp !! Organic driven vineyards. - The white 2006 Feuilles d'or is an exceptional wine ! White grenache, white clairette. You'll keep it 2010-2018 according to the lengh of its finish. Exeptional first taste with sweetness and flavour of apple, anisseed, with excellent balance.(to be served at 10° C) In red, the Domain produce 2 jewels : - Cuvée Clément 2006. Come from selection of 90 years old vineyards. Black grenache, black cinsault. Nose fresh, delicate and fruity with flavoured notes of Kirsch. In mouth, marvellous, delicate tannins, rich structure, notes of fruit, with delicate toasted touches. The finish is long and delicate. Will last up to 2028 ! - Domaine Le Pointu 2006 - Black grenache, black cinsault. Nose very elegant, aromas of dried figs and dried fruits In mouth, it's powerful and fresh, fruity flavours similar to the nose, wonderful elegant tannins. The finish is exceptionally long. Its life will be 2010-2030 ! The red wines should be served at 15°C. For other c9dp, I would go to a white Château de la Nerthe 2008 and a red 2005, http://www.chateaulanerthe.fr/ a Domaine de Saint Siffrein 2006 red (to be drank now, up to 2012) and from the same a 2007 white. http://www.vigneron-independant.com/annuaire.php?page_annu=desc2&numadh=889 Another jewel : Domaine de Marcoux 2007 red, which is splendid ! Great talent and pure pleasure. Organic vineyards. In Vacqeyras, don't miss the Domaine Le Sang des Cailloux with its 2006 Cuvée de Lopy. Also from the same the Un sang blanc 2007 white will kick you up with its white flowers fragance and a touch of light acidity. http://www.sangdescailloux.com/    (hide)
