Ask the Wheel
I'm passing this question on for a friend (oh O.K., it's for my Mom.) Any words of wisdom for her?"I leave Friday
the 16th in the AM for two weeks in Burgundy at a house we have rented in
Vezelay (near Auxerre).... Please ask Michael if he has any wine or
winery suggestions. We will have two cars and lots of time. We are about 1
hour drive west of Dijon or Beaune. We have cut out many articles and
understand the vagaries of the grape in that area. We are just south of
Chablis, yet the four of us are generally red wine enthusiasts, but not
stupid or intransigent. It may just be that this area is not as lush as the
prior rental in Provence just up the lane from Gigondas. Now that was a
place to drink wine!"
your mother is a now a wine enthusiast? she still smoking those winstons?
That was my aunt...
im sure you know your mother better than i but i recall a carton of winstons on hand at the cape way back when. i think the problem is that you want to hear the truth but you cant handle the truth. (thats a reference to the movie, a few good men. i hear its excellent. i also recall a listening session with mom and public enemy. is she still getting down with the flava?
Auxerre was know for local sauvignon, aligote and spaarkling (and at one time some of the most well know of french wines in england) a far cry from a good gigondas,
chablis are in my opinion the best chardonnays produced on the planet the Dauvissat family, Louis Michel, Verget, Rauveneau are work looking for on any wine list but to visit is another story, small domaine very in demand etc
try Louis Michel?? plenty of other good producers and a new book on Chablis (or Cha Bliss as we call it) was finally just released. in the cote d'or red wines are awesome there must be a book on touring Burgundy with some estate's to visit--will prob have to be the big ones?? small domaines we carry avoid people and that only our top customers beaune and dijon are beautiful have great wine shops and restaurants but beware there is a lot of cheap bugundy that is very inferior...do you want a list of the top 25 estates
they will be more expensive but GEN-U-WINE stuff?? call the book store "kitchen arts and letters??" upper lexington for book info...want more info advise me....
