TN: White Burg, pink Loire, and liver
Yesterday was "drop off the communal buys" day (I buy some wines that
are available in case lots and share at cost with some local friends), at my last stop a friend offered me a glass of Chardonnay. It was the 2008 Henri Boillot Bourgogne Blanc. Big and rich style for basic Bourgogne, sweet pear fruit overlaid with some vanillin oak, hazelnut, and chalk. Enough acids to achieve balance. A bit fuller/heavier than most Bourgognes I buy, I'll treat this more like a village Meursault or Chassagne. I'd actually think a little time might be good for this, but it has a plastic cork, so I'll drink my 3 bottles over next 2 years. B/B+ I was soloing for dinner, so it seemed a good time to have my once a year liver and onions. I opened the 2009 Baudtry Chinon rose. Some recent unenthusiastic CT notes, but this floats my boat. Strawberry fruit, but more mineral than fruit driven. Wet rocks, lemon zest, chalk. Good acids, food friendly, nice length. 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. |

B+ Unenthusiastic CT notes?? Wow, '09 Baudry rosé has been lighting up the winegeek "back up the truck" boards for weeks now. It got the coveted (Good) Jay Miller three thumbs up, too, so you're in good company, Dale. Actually, since there are no signs that it's going to make it out of NY/NJ, I was just contemplating ordering some from a NYC retailer in the hopes that someone (hint, hint) might hang onto it until shipping season begins again.

But I'm sure CSW, Crush, Astor etc will hold for summer ( and that way you don't pay both tax and shipping). cheers |
