I can never remember the date Louis XVI was beheaded, a more significant date after all, and I'm sure I've heard it more than once. We all have our failings.
You're tempting me there!
Did you have a chance to try any recent Pallières?
I think they had the 08s at the Caveau in Gigondas this summer. I'm vague on which of their designations. And here's the reason. The wine was nice enough. Even though they were special cuvees, I preferred the original vintages of 99 and 00, which I have in my cellar here in DC and which have aged very nicely. On the other hand, for 08s, the one I tasted was clearly successful and maybe will develop into something better. But the tariff is as I remember quite high, high enough to reduce my interest in the wine.
