The article makes an error in that you Pavie can make a Bordeaux without spoofilation, but you cannot make a fino, or a vin jaune without oxidation.

But the article appears fairly pointedly aimed at "natural wines from the Loire"....that's the axe he is grinding here and has before (read his notes on Puzelat, for example).

He seems to have found a certain peace with his own inner turmoil now though...phew.

Guess I'd better throw away this 1998 Houillon/Overnoy ouille I was thinking of opening tonight.

The '93 Lopez Tondonia blanco is, as Coad wrote about almost precisely one year ago on this board, in a great spot now. Completely charming, delicious and interesting -- at least based on a bottle at lunch yesterday. I hope that the WineDr warns everybody away else away from it.

You guys crack me up. I put that quote on a draft Board presentation about our China business at my old shop; the CEO laughed but asked me to move it to the footnotes.
