TN: '01 Overnoy Savagnin

[Marc D]

Brian C opened a lovely '99 Puffeney
Cuvee Sacha Thursday night. We sat outside at sunset
and watched the clouds change colors. Well, from grey to black mostly,
but it was OK. This wine only hinted at oxidation, and was quite smokey
at first, toasted nuts. The palate was so fresh and lovely, it seemed
very much a young wine. With air there was hints of curry spices.
Really very special I thought. It had us dreaming of some morel dishes, but it was
tasty with the cheeses we were munching.

Just about the c-note part. I have not opened yet

it's a great wine. pricey in france as well, as you can see.

Bryan, you come to the Bay Area with the 99 Overnoy Vin Jaune, and I'll open a 99 Overnoy Ouille and the 99 Ganevat Mon Pere. For that, we might get Cory and Guilhaume.

He brings that and I'll crack the black wax Overnoy.

 

[Bryan Garcia]

Sounds good. I have been meaning to go out to SF....

Fuck, what are the rest of us, chopped liver?

Larry, do you have Overnoy Vin Jaune?

 

[Larry Stein]

Sadly no, Jim. I was simply making a Disorderly exclamation. I'll go slink off to my corner now...

 

[Bryan Garcia]

Chopped liver should know what to do by now!

 

[Larry Stein]

True. The big problem, as we all know, is Overnoy (especially Vin Jaune) is as scarce as hen's teeth. If I could find a bottle that wasn't already mentioned above, I would probably go for it.
