Celebrating Homecomings
OK.....in keeping with my, I will now catalog the wine I consume so my faulty memory has a record....I have come across some holes in my theory of completion.
This is a wine my friend Eowyn brought back from Paris that we enjoyed to celebrate are new apartment and finally having some much needed time to sit and just chat and revel in the fact that a panel painting conservator and a lover of books now share an apartment in what used to be a book conservation studio.
While I am a big fan of Saint Emilion, this was a wine producer I was unfamiliar with. Trying to get details, I have discovered that for 2002 there was a marked change in grape blends with 2003 reverting back to only two grapes. Can't find out why. Can't find a link to the vineyards to ask, and, as a result....have on incomplete record of the vintage based only upon previous vintages.
oh well!
