#228 En Primeur 2008 Louis Jadot
The Tasting Note &bull Feb 16, 2010
When you are given the chance to try a bundle of new releases of Burgundian wines, you don't say no! Particularly when they are being presented by the entertaining Guillaume de Castelnau of Chateau des Jacques. I would tell you more, but it is 1.40 in the morning, and I'm sleepy after drinking the remains of the Corton Charlemagne from the bottle! In the meantime, here are my notes... 2008 Clos de Loyse, Louis Jadot A light, mineral element with some grapefruit pith,… Full Story »

2006 Rhys Pinot Noir Swan Terrace Alpine Vineyard (USA, California, San Francisco Bay, Santa Cruz Mountains)
Pelz on Wine &bull Feb 10, 2010

Brooklynguy's Food and Wine Blog &bull Jan 31, 2010
More conversation with Becky and Peter Wasserman: BG: By the way, thanks for spending so much time talking with me. BW : It's my pleasure. All of this is pre-obituary and it's good for me to do. BG: ( Nervous laughter, followed by throat clearing and vigorous subject-changing ) So, I'd like to learn about pricing in Burgundy. How do you decide the prices for each bottle? PW : We don't, we're sent a price list each year and that's basically it. If we feel that we want to change the prices some, we can work with the producers on… Full Story »
