Es no mas.

A beautiful Chinon from Silverlake Cheese. 

Chateau de Vaugaudry, Chinon, 2005. 

I bought this ages ago but I think it is no longer in inventory at the store, so I'm sure Julian cam recommend something comparable. Lovely fruit, not too green, not actually green at all. Tastes good. I don't think there's a need to say anything more, do you?

Good to see you bloggin' again. Julian and I missed you...

This Chinon is quite good. We sold out of it too. A Winewise product and excellent value.

I had a customer that sez he loves Cab Franc, so I recommend this Chinon. He comes back the next day with the bottle saying it is problematic. I ask "is it corked?" He said a little and it has a strange finish.

I open the bottle in front of him. "Perfectly fine" I say. This is what this wine tastes like.

So I ask him "what kind of Cab Franc have you tried and liked?" because this is textbook Loire red.

Oh well... I took it back, poured it at the wine bar and sold the rest of my stash out. Gotta love retail.

Sorry about the long above, but it's worth it.
