After a rather nice 2010 St Just Coulee St Cyr (lemon and grapefruit, vanilla custard, apricots with nice length and very refreshing) to go with a fried sea bass on a bed of wheat, I put out a couple of cheeses. The camembert, not very ripe, worked fine. But on a whim I had picked up an undistinguished looking Munster...
The worst ever. It turned the wine into detergent, bleachy overtones. Absolutely undrinkable. Oddly the cheese by itself was OK, but together: wow.

Chenin Blanc? I love wine and cheese, but matches can be unpredictable. Every once in a while I try a match that makes intellectual sense, that totally doesn't work. Sorry you got "bit"
Chenin indeed, a nice racy one. The level of incompatibility was historic! :) Ugh.
Say, what's with all the whitespace when you quote my post? What reader are you using?
It's a Giggle Gropes thing, Emery. They have a problem with properly word wrapped posts, inserting spurious CRLFs into them. OTOH, when I try to reply to one of Dale's posts, I have to manually rewrap the quoted text because it comes out in line lengths much longer than 80 characters. I think that the GG software must expect posts with no word wrapping and perforce chop it into 80-char records on its own.

Ah, that makes sense I guess. I've been using pan, it lets you manually rewrap in when necessary. Amazing how a company with so much tech savvy can totally screw up something so simple, and customer visible. Oh well.
cheers!
