"Continental regions" winetasting

his is just a boring white, some lemon.

. it is strange. with dark fruits as I like it, real wine structure (the fi rst today to display "real wine qualities", but than it has this strange n ote of dog pee and twigs.

sts 1:4th of the next one and is just as good. extra star for low price.

he cabernet in body and taste - replacing cherry for black fruits, and cutt ing the finsh short at this point with tannins. needs more age. Looking in maker's notes, confirms 2y in 225L barrigues. I think this will be as nice as the 2003 Andre Oberto I had in Italy if it gets 7 more years, making it a 5star wine at that point.

r Estate Pinot Noir. Russian River. Cristina, which they havent had for 2 y ears and suddenly they had one bottle. Now they have none and I have 3 haha .

You like Chardonnay because it's not boring. Don't get that as most of them other than Chablis are pretty uninteresting to me. I like Spanish, Greek, and Italian whites because they are intersting.

Last tasting was "coastal" theme and most wines were whites, none chardonnay, I gave a lot of 1 star marks that day.

I Like an italian white from tuscany that is chardonnay, haha.

I like argentina chards and napa chards. Rombauer/Graham style. Kistler. I recently bought a Gramay chard that the storeowner swore would be at least as good if not better than kistler, at half the price.

I have a 1997 Chablis 1er cru Meligny Shaume that I guess I should soon dig into.

Spanish white is hard to find. I do know LdH and its very good for the price. Dont know any other. Ah Ive seen Marq. Riscal around. I should check it out.

Ah yes there's also that reserve pinot gris from Alsace that was interesting. But it is rare I find good whites thats not buttery chard. I see increasing "unoaked chard" popping up. there should be a law against that haha :)

Its Ramay russian river.

Ramey not Ramay and the Hyde and Hudson are expensive.

I paid 43$ for the russian river. seems only 3$ over the list price, not bad for danish pricing. in average it is 1.5x
