You two are re living historyDidn't Callahan and Stuart have a similar conversation about Overnoy Poulsard many moons ago?

I'm sure the page was Albanized, but something along the lines of a sweaty shepherdess exploding vs Overnoy being a swell guy and making authentic wine... blah, blah etc.

Unfortunately replies are not preservered.
 
The replies could probably be recreated by anyone who was there. If I recall correctly, there were two issues. The first was whether or not the fact that the winemaker was a hard-working and nice guy made it unfair for Yaniger (or anyone) to post a note with that sort of language. The second was whether or not Yaniger knew anything about chemistry.

I seem to recall the word "mercaptans" being used a great many times.
 
That's what I meant by the last line. (paraphrasing) "There are no mercaptans." "I think I can identify mercaptans, Robert." And so forth. It was all very, very exciting, and a late-period resurgence in relevance for the "talking about talking about wine" folk.

Though they are not, the opposing viewpoint is still preserved in unreplied format. Taken together, these two sort of operate like a typical Presidential debate.

For what it's worth, I thought Stuart's appraisal, while hilarious, bore very little resemblance to the actual wine. I still have a few bottles tucked away, I'll have to open one soon and see how it's doing.
 
Stuart had a bad bottle. And I mean that in all sincerity.

Not that there weren't fucked up bottles of that wine in the world, some with an abundance of mercaptans.

None of which mean anything at all in the context of recent vintages.
 
We're still just talking about the Poulsards right?

The bottles of Overnoy/Houillon (all-inclusive) that I have really enjoyed have been superb wines, but none were fruit-driven. I think that is close the original direction of the thread.

I'm not down on the producer, one of my "life" wines would be to track down a bottle of the Overnoy Vin Jaune.
 
Are we still recreating content from old forums? Is this where Yixin asks Rovani to trade 1997 for 1993?

We import Overnoy/Houillon and only rarely get a case or two of Vin Jaune. I keep it for myself.

But everyone hates that, dontcha know...despite what their actual behavior might lead you to believe.

As a CWD bonus, the 05 Quenard Chignin Bergeron Les Demoiselles is great with cheese and crackers for breakfast.
 
For those looking for vin jaunes (not me), I noticed CSW now has some 2000 Tissot VJ.

Speaking of oxidative whites I haven't learned to appreciate quite yet, Joe Perry opened a bottle of Lopez de Heredia white at a wine gathering last year, and I still remember how much I liked that wine. I was shocked. The experience was like eating a food you think you can't stomach (say, broccoli) and really enjoying it (wow, that's almost as good as bacon!). Joe, bring another bottle this year!
