I had a lot to say but I will leave it at this. Please.

What's the point of an internet wine board if people can't have long pointless arguments over nothing. Killjoy!

Not to mention it’s the continuation of a “long pointless” — your words, not mine — argument that has been going on in various forms (forums? fora?) for (at least) 15 years.

Speaking personally and given the reds we usually drink I don't see any problem with having whites follow reds.

 

[Peter Creasey]

Reportedly, that's the way they do it in Burgundy -- reds, then whites.

At tastings, there doesn't seem to be much of a difference in results when done one way or the other (reds or whites first).

Depends what you mean by "results".

If intoxication is the key outcome, then sure, all roads lead in that direction.

they are talking about the obligatory cheese course, for which 1983 Meursault Charmes from Jobard that's now been sitting in decanter for three hours is an experience beyond the feeble reds you had with your main course. Or 1979 Chave Blanc if you have to make do.

I knew I could smell something wonderful wafting down from the hinterlands. Along the same vein, the last glass of 2004 Cotat Culs de Beaujeu from a bottle opened a week ago was good company last night with a bit of cheese. And on its own.

I've heard rumors 2004 was successful in Chavignol.

Bravo!

Jason, a moment of kinship, and Jonathon, if I may be so familiar: you got it, babes! Much pleasure from your ferocious dissertations etc and, kiss my ass. Please take this in the ineffable spirit of laughter in which I intend it. Fondly, Karen!
