Well, only one's a Burg, but it's a catchy title. Jay and I sat down over some 07 Curran Grenache Blanc (Kris Curran is the one that put Seasmoke on the map) and 06 Vincent "Vinny G" Girardin Bourgogne Blanc to make some crazy tasting notes ala 750ml and possibly start a new blog where people can chime in. Instead of any great tasting notes however, we just drank some great wine. Oh well.
Alright, alright, quick notes:
The 06 Vinny G was delicious. But in all truth, it made me feel like a cheater to like it, a hypocrite somehow, cause it almost wasn't really Burgundian, but more like a Cali chick in a coiture country dress rocking a beret. If I've got a Burg, I'm supposed to want a Burg, but I loved every moment of this seeming impostor, and "it's not what it looks like, darling, ok, it IS what it looks like. Is this the part where I'm supposed to say we didn't plan it, it just happened? Je ne regret rien.."
Kris' Grenache Blanc though was a completely different story, no guilt involved, it wasn't supposed to be anything else. Fun, easy, voluptuous, but some complexity. Wow, she really IS a grad student who pays her tuition in ones.
