Shout out to Emery Davis

I just wanted to thank Emery Davis for his recommendation of Clos de Cazaux. We were well received, treated with utmost kindness, and had a fantastic tasting. They even let us tromp around their vineyards for a bit afterwards to take some pictures.

For the record, I liked the Grenat Noble a bit more than you. Their Grains de Novembre was fantastic, and I also picked up some of the Vacqueyras Cuvee Prestige. Unfortunately, as I live in the US, space in my luggage was somewhat more limited than yours. From the entire trip, my cache consisted of 16 bottles (12 in a padded wine shipping box, 4 in my suitcase).

Thanks again for the recommendation!

- Chris

Hi Chris,

You're very welcome. One of the things I really like about AFW is discovering other people's recs -- they're not always a hit, but glad this one was! They're great folks at CdC and the quality and typicity really is unimpeachable.

Grains de Novembre, that's the amazing sticky. Couldn't remember the name. So, drink now or hold? ;) So delicious and already so complex, it'll be hard to wait.

So, where else did you visit on your trip? Let's have the full report! :)

We should probably add another line about CdC in the FAQ. Right now (I just checked) it says "more rustic than CdP" -- true, but not that helpful. Any suggestions for what it should say?

Chris, Are you allowed to bring in a case of wine packed in you luggage?

I thought I had read on a few web sites that you could only bring in a quart per person (or three 750ml bottles per couple).

Was I mistaken about this? I really hope I was.

the duty free part is one or two bottles, but customs usally won't charge anything if the whole bill is less than $10 (it is the sate tax not the fed that is large on wine) As long as you declare it a case is not going to be much of a problem (DRC and several others may be another item!)

Sorry, Joseph the coffee is just not taking hold this morning. DRC? Democratic Republic of Congo? Department of corrections? Disaster research center? Disability rights coalition?

Domaine de Romanee Conti (he meant that customs seldom bothers with duty, but would likely make an exception for superexpensive bottles)

Thanks for the translation. That shouldn't be an issue. :-)

Yeah, ditto. (Just back online after a thunderstorm provoked netless hiatus). I often don't take notes if I'm on vacation, I thought these were just fine.

Neither time nor bandwidth to comment extensively, but:

Yes, good note. I definitely tasted the botrytis character here, and found it distracting. I wasn't bowled over by this wine, but maybe I was in a traditionalist mood.
