Chris Kissack & Jim Budd banned from tasting Huet's 2013s.

On a weird note, the article claims that neither Budd nor Kissack have been barred from the domaine: "Ils ne sont pas interdits de visite au domaine." So they can't taste at the Salon des vins de Loire but they can come to the estate? This does not add up. She says she decided to speak out to defend the domaine, the team, and Vouvray: "j'ai fait le choix de ne plus me taire pour défendre le domaine, notre équipe, et Vouvray."

"Come visit our beautiful dungeons, er, cellars."

If you're going to be waterboarded, may as well be with good Vouvray.

Heh. She probably thinks she's been a model of restraint by waiting two years to slap their wrists.

Where did you say that sunglasses kiosk is?

I received an email this morning:

Join us for an evening with Sarah Hwang and Jean- Bernard Berthomé,
respectively the president and winemaker of Vouvray's Domaine Huet.
We will taste our way through their three stellar vineyards,
Le Haut-Lieu, Le Mont, and Clos du Bourg that comprise
this renowned domaine, concluding with
Cuvée Constance, their superlative dessert wine.


In addition to being one of the youngest and most celebrated domaines
in France's Loire Valley, Domiane Huet is lauded as one of the
pioneers of biodynamic wine making and its
great success with these techniques is exemplary.


Chef Galen Zamarra and Wine Director Sarah Looper have created
a six course degustation and wine pairing showcasing the versatility
of Chenin Blanc as expressed by Domaine Huet.

Invitation to be revoked once they get wind of your slanderous comments about the 2012 Le Mont Sec.

Sadly, I am already booked that night.

It's a bit far for me, but someone please attend and report back on the 1er Trie pairing. Seems interesting.
