    Sancerre is one of my favorite regions!

    QOTD: My first thought was Arnold and Danny Devito. And then I thought of Tiger’s wife. Did you know she’s a twin???? What was he thinking?

    What’s with the clicking sound? I’ve noticed it for a couple of episodes now. It sounds like some one is taking flash photographs or something.

    Good episode. Fast and illuminating. Two wines from the same place, totally different profiles. Both over priced. Hopefully these hard economic times will produce more practical winemakers for the future.

    Gary,

    Are you seeing a trend with old-world wine countries dabbling in new-world wine techniques in regards to some of their vino’s produced or was this a once off??
    Seems strange that 2 over priced sancerres tasted very new worldly

  • @ AUSSIE SAMMY S I am a tad worried after these results that we are seeing that trend here and there!

    Several Sancerres I have come across have tasted overly acidic and hard at first but have still been great with food and also tasted a lot better by themselves on day two. Might just be the case with one or both of these two.

    Good job bringing back the double blind action. I was waiting for that.
    QOTD: I think of the two twin-pairs that I went to school with. Dustin and David and Nadine and Janine. They didn’t piss me off though.

    Sancerre is on my list of “must try” but by many descriptions I’m not sure if I’m going to be a fan. Today’s show not helping the matter.

    QOTD: You say twins, I say glad my wife and I didn’t have them. One at a time please!

    Very, very good show. Blind dubble tasting is a great idea.

    BTW, I knew your are going to London but I didn’t knew you also are going to Paris. And why don’t you come to Brussels? It’s just a one hour flight and Belgium is a wine loving country – don’t believe those who say we are beer drinkers, that’s just sales talk – and I’m convinced there are a lot of Vayniacs over here. Well, I hope so.

    QOTD. When you say ‘twins’ I say ‘China’
