Opened tonight with a dinner of shrimp stir-fried with veggies in a black bean-garlic-ginger concoction:

2005 Luneau-Papin 'Clos des Allees' Muscadet Sevre et Main Sur Lie (whew) color: green-tinged yellow nose: green apples, minerals palate: round entry, lush fruit, crisp, fresh, lively

This is a single-vineyard Muscadet from Luneau-Papin, as opposed to their flagship L D'Or bottling. '05 was a ripe year in the Loire and it shows with this fleshy Muscadet, but even so it never loses its zip and is quite excellent with our shrimp. Most likely, it would do well with any seafood. $15 and well worth the price.

Emery,

I am travelling to Angers in the fourth week of October. Any chance of sharing a table?
