  Niebaum-Coppola Estate Sofia Blanc de Blanc 2005

  Snoothrank:

  The 2005 Sofia Blanc de Blancs is far better than the few reviews I've read on ... The 05' Sofia is not a 02' Nicolas Joly, not a 07' Didier Dagneaux, not a 03' Cours Cheverny -- make no mistake about that. But in its own right as a simple American effort, it is both noteworthy and eminently drinkable. Salu Read More

  For our e-mail newsletter today, we invited Dini Rao to share some tips about ... ... Clos de la Bergerie from Nicolas Joly that recently sold at an Acker Auction for $45/btl (including premium), which is the same price one might find a current vintage. If I found this on a restaurant wine list, I would be ecstatic, as it makes for an incredib... Read More

  My boyfriend and I will be taking a trip to France in about a month and we will be spending 2 days in the Loire Valley. Has anyone been wine tasting in the Loire Valley who could give me recommendations on which wineries to visit? It's okay if the good ones are off the beaten path as we will have a rental car and I would rather go out of my wa... Read More

  I'm curious as to what everyone here buys to store at the back of their cellar (ie long life wines)?I'm just starting to getting into wine seriously and so most of what is in my cellar is short term stuff.My first longer term purchase has so far been 1 dozen of 2007 Craggy Range Gimblett Gravels Te Kahu. I had the fortune to try this at a tastin... Read More

  Coulée de Serrant Aoc 2003

  Snoothrank:

  An exceptionel thick and yellow wine, with very small hints of botrytis. Not in the sauternes or eiswine way, but in its own fat dry style. This must be the closest you get to liquid gold. Tasted in 2007 (Sorry Nicolas but I had tor try it) it was chewy, siropy and very powerfull and not a normal Chenin Blanc product. This is incredible. Read More

  I´ve read a lot lately on biodynamic wines and how the position of the moon and other things can affect the vines growth or even the wine tasting, mostly on phylosophical grounds believing that "Biodynamics takes organic farming practices and wraps them as broader conception of the farm / the vineyard as a coherent organism, where inputs and out...

  Nicolas Joly Savennieres Coulee de Serrant Clos de la Coulee de Serrant 1998

  Snoothrank:

  A stunning wine, less oxidized than one would have anticipated. Heady honey blossom jumped from the glass teasing you to taste it. Sweet viscosity covers the mouth, from the top of your cheeks to the back of your tongue which races down your throat leaving still taut acidity. The wine was decanted for nine hours prior to tasting. On a second... Read More
