Name That Wine

It's that time again.... It's cold out and I'm chilling out. Recognize that cork? The photo gives one obvious hint and I'll give another: it's not Beaujolais. So, can you name what I'm drinking?

David McDuff said...: Not a bad guess, Tom, but nope -- that was last year.; December 5, 2010 at 10:54 PM
David McDuff said...: Okay, this is admittedly a pretty obscure entry so I'll drop a couple more hints: TWG was correct on the variety (he may have had help from a little bird) and the region. That leaves just the producer, the wine name, and, if you really want to put it all out there, the vintage. Keep 'em coming....; December 6, 2010 at 12:57 PM

David McDuff said...: How'd you know, Wolfgang?!? I used Photoshop to lift her tramp stamp and copy it to a bare cork ;); December 6, 2010 at 3:18 PM
TWG said...: Clos Roche Blanche (not right either but what the hell). You're right about the bird.; December 6, 2010 at 5:32 PM
David McDuff said...: Quite right, Tom, it's not CRB.; December 6, 2010 at 8:13 PM
Tim Buzinski said...: Also not correct but Thierry Puzelat In Côt We Trust 2008. Just for the fun of it.; December 9, 2010 at 9:15 PM
David McDuff said...: Right you are, Tim. It's not Puzelat, either. Eventually, we may just get there via process of elimination.; December 9, 2010 at 9:34 PM
SG Brix said...: I think I have seen these corks at my local homebrew shop?? Is it a trick question?; December 9, 2010 at 9:44 PM
David McDuff said...: Nope, no trick. It really is from a bottle of Côt from the Touraine....; December 9, 2010 at 9:58 PM
TWG said...: Ricard?; December 9, 2010 at 10:19 PM
David McDuff said...: Nope. The Ricard stoppers, at least all those I've ever seen, all have the circle-R design along with the name of the estate. One more down, though.; December 9, 2010 at 10:34 PM
SG Brix said...: Are we far from Roche Blanche then?; December 10, 2010 at 12:09 AM
David McDuff said...: No, SGB, not far. Only 10 or 12 kilometers away....; December 11, 2010 at 12:01 AM
David McDuff said...: The answer has been revealed....; December 11, 2010 at 4:00 PM
