Glad to hear that your dad likes the sparklers of the Loire. If you can, you should try Langlois-Chateau’s wines, excellent quality

My dad, as a wine producer, said that sparking wines from Vouvray, Montlouis and Saumur are something special when it comes to Loire wines. Still wait to tast Francois-Regis wines

Ah the Barossa! I travelled around the Barossa Valley 12 years ago, I bet some of the vineyards have changes since then. Are Seppelts still there? I loved their wine.

Love the blog, Kind Regards, Si

Hi there, I think your blog could possibly be having browser compatibility issues. When I look at your web site in Safari, it looks fine however, when opening in IE, it's got some overlapping issues. I simply wanted to provide you with a quick heads up! Apart from that, excellent blog! My web-site :: Tatiana

Comment on Krug Celebration – a tasting, Clos d’Ambonnay & Clos du Mesnil by winesleuth

I wonder if it really a shift in style or just the fact that grapes are riper nowadays. I still think the GC still has quite a bit of depth to it. One interesting thing about 2012 is that Krug petitioned to do the 2012 harvest earlier then their neighbours. I’m always happy to drink champagne with fellow champagne lovers! Keep an eye out for my post on the Krug Celebration where we get to blend our own version of 2012 KGC. Thanks for stopping by!

Hi Denise
I am always interested in your posts, but these two Krug blogs are absolutely stunning. I have an intro tour to Krug in Reims later this month.
If I had a Krug observation, it is the slight shift of GC style to more citrus and approachable from the (what I considered) a trademark depth and intensity of the blends of 10+ years ago. Agree, or is it just me?
If you ever need to bounce ideas or aquire a fellow champagne taster, please feel free to call on me!
Keep up the great work.
Best wishes
Alastair
