Le Haut-Lieu Demi-Sec Vouvray Chenin Blanc 2018

Perhaps a little 1D but plenty of fruit concentration and acid, check in in another 5. — 11 days ago

Le Haut-Lieu Sec Vouvray Chenin Blanc 2019

Mooi fris, fruitig, mooie mineraliteit, wel wat hoog in de zuren in de (niet al te lange) afdronk. — a month ago

Domaine Huet

Brut Pétillant Vouvray Chenin Blanc 2019

Fresh meadow, the sweetness of an oyster shell, slight banana.

Oh wow. Wonderful. Light, airy, yet a good chew and delicate balance of the tartness of a peach, raspberries, and leafiness. Fresh and zingy, this nouveau wraps your tongue in a shawl of minerality and stone fruit.

Really lovely.

Did you really drink this at a car wash?@Doug Powers

@Peter Sultan, of course not, but Delectable (like UnTappd, the beer app I also use) has very limited “venue” apps, so, like my buddy @Severn Goodwin, who once checked in a wine at a Canadian toll booth, we all look for funny venues!! On UnTappd, I was able to create a custom venue that I use, but have never figured out how to do so on Delectable?!?!

Oh shoot, I was really starting to enjoy the image of Delectable-ites toasting with their Chinon while watching as their car gets scrubbed. All kidding aside, there was a shift on Delectable several years back I noticed when it became impossible to locate myself ( though w restaurants it works well); apparently my closest drinking venue is the synagogue across the street!@Doug Powers

Chinon Cabernet Franc Rosé 2023

Orange blossom half and half sipped out of a cantaloupe soaked in the Atlantic. Also those orange circus peanut candies you find at rural gas stations. I know this note sounds terrible but it’s just because I’m a poor writer, the wine is actually quite good as per usual. — a month ago

Chose the demi sec today to pair with the cold pasta salad with the complemtary tropical tastes of both salad and wine — a month ago

Les Grézeaux Chinon Cabernet Franc 2017

Vintage 2017 | Well balanced. Serious. Spicyness. Textbook Cab Franc and still so much different from the Bourgueil we drank yesterday. Minerals. Paired with Cantonese beef and mango. — a month ago
