Willm Riesling 2008 $35.98 Le Mourre de L'Isle Cotes du Rhone (cheap) I'm hoping for the best. I was dragging my feet because I've been hating everything and was confused. The first one was exciting.

| ALICE FEIRING MARCH 25, 2008 Alice Feiring - In Vino Veritas He conferred with the wine lad, selected a 1999 Chateauneuf du Pape, Domaine de la Charbonnire Vielles Vignes. Yet, circling back to the Chateauneuf, the second bottle was so different we wondered if it was really the same year and producer. Yes, it was Rhone, but, well who could tell? Bargains like that abound. | ALICE FEIRING DECEMBER 14, 2008 Alice Feiring - In Vino Veritas home : wine recommendations : wine girl for hire : bio : articles : contact « And For that Pudding-Like Texture | Main | LVMH--the machine » Looking for that Magical Mood Altering Taste December 14, 2008 Im sure THEY ask you, THEY are surely asking me: what have you been drinking that is exciting.

And This Time It's Personal In the spring of 2008 I learned that the winemaking prodigy behind Pax Wine Cellars, monsieur Pax Mahle, was leaving the eponymously named venture and striking out on his own, once again.

Domaine de la Janasse has several wines I was hoping to try but having skipped this table early on I was only able to taste the 2007 Janasse Cotes du Rhone Blanc.

SLAKED | WEDNESDAY, APRIL 2, 2008 Chateau Rayas Chateauneuf du Pape Reserve 1997

So I'm putting this 1997 behind me. MORE >> -
SLAKED | WEDNESDAY, MAY 28, 2008 Dom. du Banneret Chateauneuf du Pape 2005
Not surprisingly, the 2005 Banneret is just as gorgeous as the 2004. Successive and integrated layers of sour cherry cola, red currants, quince, ripe oranges, and pinewood, with a mellow peppermint note riding the wood.
