Heres the funk I am looking for! Wet wool hits you in the face, while underripe green pear, beeswax, jalapeño skin, and crushed macadamia and bitter almond add a lovely nutty element. Richer mouthfeel with m+ body for a Sancerre, it's palate coating and gives off great texture. The acidity is not the typical punch that I'm used to but it finishes elegant and well rounded. Not your typical Sancerre but really lovely none the less. — 9 years ago

Delicious and has proper typicity (how did "we" invent that term?). Needs time but handles its alcohol well. Unlike a college student. Whaaaaa? @Delectablewine It's Royer not Roger — 10 years ago

Yes, Sauvignon Blanc in Burgundy! In fact, the St Bris appellation was previously called 'Sauvignon de Saint-Bris' (before 2003). And you can ONLY use SB or Sauv Gris fruit, + max 12.8% ABV. Love the terroir and plan to show it blind just to mess with my Sancerre obsessed friends. — 10 years ago

The 2014 Domaine De la Grand'Cour Le Clos Fleurie is my current obsession, but these were all delicious and fun to taste back to back (to back to back...). A study in granite, flowers and crunchy red fruit. Thanks for the great event @Max Kogod and #kogodwinemerchant, and thanks for hosting @Molly Brooks-Thornton and #bankershillrestaurant — 9 years ago

2011. So precise. So much going on. Yet so weightless. Awesome. Wish these hadn't gotten so expensive in the last few years. Thanks @Max Kogod #kogodwinemerchant — 10 years ago

This Pinot Noir was incorrectly identified by the app (twice...). This is Sancerre Rouge, with pleasant dryness and sour raspberry fruit. Able to retain its youthful character despite somewhat old age. — 9 years ago
