And thanks for the heads-up on the Menu Pineau, though it shouldn't be an issue as it's rare that I open anything at home unless food is involved. Any specific pairing suggestions?David McDuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03274955351036700406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8017457764988110566.post-61482964062568147462009-05-26T15:51:47.558-04:002009-05-26T15:51:47.558-04:00The nouveau was actually the en primeur bottling f...The nouveau was actually the en primeur bottling from tue bouef that was brought back from france by a friend. As far as I know it isn't available on the American market. The tel quel is one of my "house" bottles along with the cot. Enjoy the menu pineau, but make sure you have it with food, as the acid is really bracing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8017457764988110566.post-18598993705233260692009-05-26T11:01:20.018-04:002009-05-26T11:01:20.018-04:00I'm up for a trade, Joe.

My verbosity on the blog is in direct counterpoint to my stoicism in person, so I should be able to flip and write some "shorts."<br /><br />Cory,<br />Agreed on the value of Puzelat's wines -- one of the best under $20 ranges out there. I'm guessing you're referring to "Le Tel Quel"... I didn't realize at the time of my write-up of Telquel that there are two versions: one released en primeur in November and the other (which is called "Le P'tit Tannique Coule" on the French market) the same wine after several moths of aging.<br /><br />The menu pineau is up soon....David McDuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03274955351036700406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8017457764988110566.post-9566899556363325772009-05-26T02:36:42.522-04:002009-05-26T02:36:42.522-04:00I'm glad you enjoyed the wine and thanks for the t...I'm glad you enjoyed the wine and thanks for the tasting notes, Puzelat is right at the top of the list of producers getting it done that I can actually afford. A few months back i had the pleasure of trying a bottle of Thierry's vin nouveau made from gamay. It was remarkably precise and very unlike his other offerings, and really showed off the range that the Loire is capable of.

The write-up, though concise, did not really convey the qualities of the wine nearly as well as your in-depth note on the Pouillé.<br /><br />Care to trade some verbosity for brevity?Joe Manekinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04068628197191676490noreply@blogger.com
