Scherrer 2008 Pinot Noir, Sonoma County - definitely New World (meaning, more ripeness than Burgundy and all the concomitant forceful aromatics) but lightweight texture, very floral nose, no cherry-cola thing, rather pleasant
Pinon 2010 Vouvray "Trois Argiles" - I only recall that it was lovely stuff (and a baby)
Huet 1996 Vouvray Sec "Le Mont" - the first whiff was so honeyed and waxy that I took it for saffron and asked for the rest of the risotto Milanese (perhaps we could float three green peas in the glass, in the style of the tre mosche... or maybe not); we hear so much about the sweet wines but this is amazing in its own right: full, vivid, complex, luxuriously glyceral and no distraction by a jab of simple sweetness
