French

Domaine Durand Sancerre, 2008

This is Sauvignon Blanc grape from Loire Valley. Grapefruit and minerals are pretty explosive on the nose, somewhat delicate but broad on the palate with a sexy round texture and a snappy bright finish.

Domaine Pere Caboche Cotes-du Rhone, 2008

Spicy and tannic, great with food, wonderful over a couple of hours. Could probably wait a couple more years, but is utterly drinkable now.

E. Guigal Cotes du Rhone, 2005

Eye:Deep and dark red. Shiny. Nose: Fresh fruits with red berries and spices. Palate: Full, round and racy. Rounded and smooth tannins. A full-bodied, rich and intensly aromatic wine. Overall: Full with a long finish and plenty of elegance and finesse due to the well balanced tannins and fruit.

Josephine Dubois Pinot Noir Grand Reserve, 2006

Delicious, full of sweet, ripe cherry, blackberry and spece aromas and flavors. This is dense and concentrated with a well-integrated structure and long, cherry-infused finish

R.Dubois Pouilly-Fuisse, 2008

Exhibits a big, honeyed, apricot and buttery scented nose with rich, deep, fat flavors. Possesses a fine and multi-dimensional structure.
