the basic Pepiere Muscadet
Last night my hand was actually gliding back and forth over the Arpent Rouge, the Pepiere Gras Moutons, and the basic Pepiere. It settled on the CRB because I was in the mood for something red with the pumpkin risotto.
both of which we were pouring by the glass last night.
So you're an importer and restauranteur? What's next for your profile!

No, we run a pop-up wine bar once a month at different locations. Evangelism and all that good stuff. Also wines from Thomas Carsin, who has convinced me that Cabernet Franc can be grown on schist, and Anjou schist at that.

Not everyone agrees, sadly. The Sauvignon 2 is no slouch either, or the basic Pepiere Muscadet, both of which we were pouring by the glass last night.
It's great on day 1 and great on day 2, but it is barely recognizable on the second day. I adore it straight from the bottle, but some tasters run for covers from that initial set of aromas if you know what I mean. But the way it transforms into nothing but the purest fruit is simply amazing.

If you're talking about L'Arpent Rouge I definitely know what you mean. I wasn't the biggest fan of the first set of flavors, or the prickle. But with just a bit of air it became more and more life affirming.

I tasted what I take it was Matt's bottle this afternoon at Weygandt--just never know what will show up there. As Matt described it. I may have to seek it out.

And the others?originally posted by Rahsaan:
2010 CRB L'Arpent RougeThis is the cheapest (although not by much, let's be clear) and most life-affirming wine I've had in a while. Especially when slightly chilled.
Overall, not a bad combination.

Meaning that Agnes et René Mosse didn't convince you? That Marc Angeli didn't convince you? Me, I was already even convinced by Claude Papin.originally posted by Yixin:
