thanks for the notes. All the Loire names are new to me except Luneau-
Papin, but Soumade and Font de Michelle do make it here of course.
Will keep an eye out for '05 Soumade Rasteau "Prestige." Ever had
their Confiance? Was eying the '04 at a NJ store

I used to buy the Confiance many years ago, but too pricey now vs
others available in France. In fact I'm not sure I don't prefer the less
expensive Prestige, anyway, which is a little more approachable.

I don't know if the regular villages wine makes it to the US, but the 05
Rasteau is a wonderful bottle, esp given the price of 7.80 EU (depart).

They gave me a bottle of Fleur de Confiance 05. I've never tried the FdC,
now I have to wait 10 years before checking it out!
