BUT! the thing i want to ask you is... have you smelled a banana note in a pinot? or in wine in general? i swear on the Vero's nose i got strawberry-banana yogurt once the oak faded.

Instead of destroying this aberration, he propogated it and to this day his sons produce miniscule amounts (120 cases) of white Pinot noir. As a budding enthusiast, you owe it to yourself to taste a bottle of this rare and unique wine. In 1939 Henri Gouges discovered some of his Pinot noir vines were producing white grapes.

Of COURSE it's not a good thing! If it makes you feel any better, Gary, I've always considered you kind of "the Brian Dunkleman of Wine." Great show. An experience at La Tour D'argent with a 20 year old Nuit St. George burg is what really launched my wine journey. It was transcendental. I'm still chasing the dragon. Gary:

Another idiosyncracy of Burgundy is that the 80 owners Clos de Vougeot are splitting roughly 75 ha of vineyard. Man, I love that region. Gary V,
