Stuff from the Savio Soares Fall Tasting

Jura Philippe Bonard: I rest my case. Love the Cremant, pinot, l'aide memoire (we all need some help) Loire Domaine de Montcey 07 Cheverny White was quite racy and gamy 2007 Cour-Cheverny was melony and vigorous. Christian Venier Crazy guy. Fascinated by this winemaker. Look for the 2008 Cheverny Clos de Carteries, firm and mouthwatering. Reynald Heaule He might get the winemaker of the year award. '06 Contre Courant, a blend of Cab, Franc and Meunier drives me nuts. Like a chunk of clay. Another jumper is the '06 L'Insoumis du Village, all Pinot Meunier, firm, structure, dirt and edge. Needs a good decant. Rhone Andrea Calek I've talked about this wilde mensch before, the Babiole drives me wild with a solid grenache berry, muscled six pack of a wine. Bordeaux Ch. Chap des Treilles '05 Sainte -Foy Bordeaux, with a dollop of muscadelle, this is a lovely sipper, floral, femme. Normandy Cyril Zangs Cider---Cider alert!
