Red Loires work very fine with pizza chez nous.

Domaine 2009 and Granges 2009 are the wines to drink now. Granges has a
rustic side that I love, while Domaine 2009 has a polished profile that I
really love (I must go purchase some bottles). Clos Guillot 2009 and Croix
Boissée 2009 both need time, specially Croix Boissée, which I opened one
bottle last week and thought had plenty of structure but was quite tight
right now. No hurry with this. 2009 being a special year for me, I have
purchased quite some Baudry's, including some magnums of Grezeaux (always
the most austere wine on its youth).

I'll be in France... on Tuesday afternoon! but will be back in less than 24
hours and will have a pretty tight schedule. Also, this will be the first
year in the last 12 that I will not be going to the Loire in autumn (and I
will miss it!). Instead, it could be that I would be teaching at Paris -
Boulogne in october, and this will allow for a get together, but sure no
re-stocking chez Baudry.
