On March 21, the newspaper Sud-Ouest, published an article written by Jean-Pierre Tamisier on the wine industry’s relationship between Japan and Bordeaux.
Last Sunday my father-in-law celebrated his birthday: 82 years old and in good health. For lunch, we served Blanc N°2 de Valandraud, Valandraud red 2009 and 2010, Bellevue de Tayac 2009 and the first asparagus, delicious.
My main supplier of barrels gave me a 2007 magnum of a dry white wine from the Valais region in Switzerland made with Arvine: either we drank it too late or, as the Swiss would say: the wine is heavy, no interest.
Beautiful weather expected all week, that's good as the tastings are starting in the next few days: Wine Advocate, Wine Spectator and today the classified growths of Saint Emilion and Bordeaux and tomorrow, the UGC and La Dominique on the 24th, the 5 in Smith Haut Lafite this Friday, here we go ...
I tasted Petit Faurie de Souchard 2010, such fruit, pleasure. Bravo! But I am not a journalist, only a small negociant.
I received and read a book written by Gilles Berdin, in the serie Around a bottle, on Philippe Raoux/La Winery (Elytis publishing). I read it quickly, a vivid portrait underlined by the injury felt by all the pieds noirs from Algeria and this nostalgérie we all feel.

Hello! Your blog is really interesting.
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to add my little contribution by indicating that the "Autour d'une bouteille avec..." series translates as "Sharing a Bottle With...' in English.
Keep up the good work!
