TN: Strada Provinciale 68 and other roads

WD attempt to organize a DC Roilette event is a disorderly failure IMO. Pls send your email addresses to me if you are interested and I don’t have your address or can’t find it—Mark, Bill, Mike, Ian, etc. If you all don’t get an email from me in the next day or two re: this event, ping me.

I am cohenjl at umich.edu.

Last night we drank our first Chateau Thivin Cuvée Zaccharie (a 2016) and it was splendid. Surprised to find that there is only one mention of this wine here in the bored. Aromatically it was unexceptional, with smoky, cherry-oriented red fruit with a pinch of lactic, but the mouth was gadzooks level vibrant. Really lovely molasses-inspired sweetness with a perfectly countervailing acidic backbone. The agriculture seems to have made significant strides during the most recent five year plan.

Emboldened by our experience with the 2016, last night we went for the first of a small batch of 2013s. Acquired at the strike of a gavel, there was nothing to cavil. No discontinuity here between aroma and palate, both were elegant, regal, and convincingly agreeable.
