TN: wine by the glass for Betsy's birthday

Nice notes, as usual, Dale. That sounds like quite a meal you two had (and happy B-day to Betsy). I notice that in today's CSW catalogue that they've got the 2002 Huet "Le Mont" sec. Any experience with it, in this or any other vintage?

Um, I should have qualified that. The 1er Trie is the top wine of the single vineyard selections. I think the most pricey Huet is the Cuvee Constance, with is selected grapes from all 3 vineyards. Very limited production (like 100 cases). Dale

Ahh, that makes sense. I was able to decipher from that label that it was the "first try" so to speak through the vineyard, but didn't know if it was of anything different from a molleaux wine. I have only seen the 1er Trie here in NYC at Chambers St. and just assumed that it was to the only Molleaux from Clos du Bourg. I haven't seen any other but will wait and see. The Cuvee Constance sounds delightful, but I would enjoy several bottles of the Huet Sec or Demi-Sec, or some Closel Savienerres at a fraction of the cost. Thanks for the info.
