backhanded compliments toward Eric Texier and even a link here. A grand slam!
"Eric Texier, a natural winemaker from the Rhne, revealed on WineDisorder.com that he sometimes carries around a portable meter to measure sulfite levels. (I find this dedication awesome, though I concede it could be a drag at a dinner party.)"

He's quite wrong about the dinner party bit. I've done the experiment, and it's quite amusing.

You chemists are a laugh riot.

I can't read that article without throwing things in my apartment. You owe me a new hard drive Mark.

At least it's out in the open now. It seems like every time Sharon, Maureen, or Eden post, all they they can talk about is the shape of their favorite bottles. It drives me crazy.

You should note that for the full effect, you need Eric to operate and comment. I wouldn't try this at home without him.

Jesus. Thanks for sharing.

Not.

Your starry-eyed enthusiasm about her writing and command of the subject matter just couldn't go unchallenged, doncha know.

Dive Bouteille

There were several Champagne producers present, but they drew limited interest from the hipster crowd. I suppose Champagne is too square, or too spoofed to excite this audience. In NYC, this room would have been mobbed, but I suppose our hearts are not so pure. The recent disgorgements of the whole range of Larmandier-Bernier wines remain a precise match to my tastelean, structured and beautiful. Prevosts 07 Closerie needs time, but is really interestingsaline, a little meaty. Jerome called it fume. I like Vouette et Sorbee partly for fond memories of good bottles, but the 2007 wines are quite strict and severe. They could use a year or two in the bottle. The Saignee de Sorbee rose was a bit odd in the nose. The Blanc des Argilles was the most open of the bottlings, as I usually find it to be, and this would be the one Id buy.

Can anyone avail this noob as to the relationship, if any, between Larmandier-Bernier and Guy Larmandier?

No winemaking association. I suppose they are cousins.
