It was sharp and crisp and reminiscent of grapefruit, which we statin-eaters miss.originally posted by Sharon Bowman:
So, what's up with the Tessier love?

What do statins and grapefruit have to do with one another?
Grapefruit induces P450s that metabolize statins, so you get less bang for your Lipitor buck if you drink the juice.originally posted by VLM:

I like Cazin's wines a lot. It's a textural thing I suppose. I often find myself using it as a reference in my head to explain the textures of other wines. I wish it were around more to be honest.
cour cheverny 08 last night. gud.

Talk about rs, GG, stp.
Apologies. Some inhibitors of P450s induce their synthesis, so you wind up with more enzyme, but I was mistaken about grapefruit. It blocks the metabolism of the statin, so you could wind up with toxic levels.
While we're on the subject, it's worth noting that quite a few prescribed drugs could have the same effect.

i drank the wine last nite, i didn't taste it. can't say shit about it really. It was stucked in between 3 bottles of gran barquero fino, a couple cocktails at agricole, couple bottles of that fantastic cot from marc O (jojo's buddy marc ollivier)a mag of 02 chinon from some obscure producer and la bota 11 or 15 or some like that.

Thanks for the write-up, Mark. I agree that the Tournelle and the Ganevat were splendidly good; the Tournelle all the moreso for having feared its oxidation.
One of the cheeses we had was the Not Quite Blue (name approx.); a blue cheese in which the microbes failed to execute. We also had a couple of raw milk cheeses from Vermont.
I enjoyed the evening very much.

Funny thing is that young ouillé savagnin has none of that typology! I discovered this a couple of years ago at an important dinner at which I ordered an 04 Overnoy Savagnin. I called the sommelier over and wanted to send it back, saying there must be some mistake, this was the chardonnay or something. It was just mineral, acidic, tight, straight. I'd had the wildly oxidative '00 recently and these were birds of different continents.
Shame on me that the yellow, rather than white, wax on top of the bottle was proof of savagnin in the bottle.
Young savagnins are beautiful that way, and I appreciate them now for it. Though that first time was one of those lessons.

I'm surprised there wasn't more love for the Bonnes Blanches, however. I find it much more worthy of attention than that.
I was actually thinking of you when drinking this; figured you'd really like the wine given your reaction to 07 La Lune. Not exactly the same, but both impreccably made and yet of little interest to me on account of how dirt figures in this particular style. Plenty of rocks but the fruit bounces right off them.
Lawyers? What you messin' round with lawyers for?
Sometimes they get it right.
'08 Ganevat "St. Julien" Pinot Noir which truly rocks my world. Smoky, red fruited, minerally, acidic and lithe on the palate, weightless and gorgeous. I am immediately smitten with its beauty and it only gets better as the evening wears on. I confess to being quite skeptical last year when reading the breathless prose from Crush about this wine, but in retrospect I have to say that they were right.

For the best of reasons: filthy lucre. Plus, they fly me to NYC every few weeks lately. What's not to love about that?

Ain't that the truth, bro?
