I guess I should have added Vitovska and Verduno from Carso. There are about 20 producers down there, but only about five I've found who really make interesting Vitovska; not sure how many make interesting Verduno, but I've found at least one.

Damned, I tought Verduno was a town in northern Barolo. I even thought I'd been there.

You caught me sleeping, Arnt. Should be Terrano.

Also, Gahier's Jura wines may be pretty singular.

But isn't Terrano another name for Refosco?

Oh, and if singularity is the criterion it's hard to argue with the 100-year tradition of Wincarnis. I would know it anywhere.

Not from what the producers tell me. It's a member of the Refosco family, but very different from the Refoscos that they produce there, as far as I've tasted -- much more austere and stony.

Coulee de Serrant is singular among Savennieres and as previously mentioned Vatan, Clos La Neore in Sancerre.

Kane drank most of it (it's pretty sweet). Some of it ended up in my lap. A kind friend loaned me pants, lest I have dogs follow me home.

Henri Gouges Nuits 1er Cru " La Perrière " Blanc does that count?

 

[Arnt Egil Nordlien]

-Cascina Berlandesas Valcalepio Moscato di Scanzo passito would fit.
-Massandra? (not that I have tasted my way through loads of crimean wineries).

You're right.

Aren't the reds rather like Puffeney's?

I can't say for sure. I have more experience with Gahier's whites than reds and I gave up on Puffeny's reds some time ago (which I guess means, not in my view).

?

How so?

 

[Claude Kolm]

Just a different dimension of minerality to me.

 

[Cliff]

He makes one old-vine Trousseau, which is the first example I've come across that I thought was as good as Puffeney, whose Trousseau I love.

Isn't this just a good knockoff of O/H's similar wine? Not that I don't love them both.

Clos Rougeard

Hard to argue.

Roilette Cuvee Tardive

Fair enough.

 

[Cory Cartwright]

I like Gahier's trousseau, but I'll agree with Claude that his whites are quite special.

More than other Jura producers? I don't see this very well.
