Maison Ilan

It has also probably helped that Ray is a prominent (and thoughtful) poster on Wine Berserkers. Aspiring winegrowers who need to get publicity for their wines should take note.

Well, there is also Kevin Harvey as the exemplar, not to mention Brian Loring. Oh, yeah, there are also those Edmunds and Brézème guys, too. And let's not forget our "own" FL Jim, who some day might very well release a commercial vintage [insert emoticon here].

He's not the first or the only American delving deep into Burgundy. I don't know if Eric has ever featured this guy, and if not, why not?
I dunno if he has or not, either. Certainly others have, including Wine Spectator. I've never thought Gambal's wines were very good, which may explain why someone might choose not to write a feature on him.

Just sayin', seems the angle is mostly about the uniqueness of being there, not the exceptional wine quality. Ray has hardly made or released much wine so far. Gambal has been toiling away for years.

Well, Alex Gambal was at IPNC last weekend pouring 2008 Maison Alex Gambal Clos Vougeot GC and Eric was there. No idea whether Eric tried it, or whether he'll write about it if he did but it was certainly available to him.
