Last night Betsy made a special request meal for me, chicken schnitzel
with an herb salad, while I grilled a few ears of corn (still too
early for local). Wine was the 2007 Paul Pernot Bourgogne Blanc. A
perennial favorite and this year's version is doing quite well. Pear
and citrus fruit, a faint hint of vanillin oak (though I'd be
surprised if any new here), good concentration and length, brisk but
not harsh acidity. With time some earth and chalky mineral notes. Very
good for level. My last of three, I should have gotten case when at
good price locally. B+

Grade disclaimer: I'm a very easy grader, basically A is an excellent
wine, B a good wine, C mediocre. Anything below C means I wouldn't
drink at a party where it was only choice. Furthermore, I offer no
promises of objectivity, accuracy, and certainly not of consistency.

How is the price of this wine? I have had a few glasses from friends and
liked it but was wondering about the availability.

I paid $16 , but yesterday prices from stores I knew started at $20
(in CA). But.....this AM came into work and got email from Chambers
St, they have some back in stock, for $18. With mixed case discount
that makes it $16.19. So I got a few (along with some Barts and
Lafouge).
