RE: French wine recommendation
Posted by triodesteve on September 30, 2010 at 17:31:09:
Good advice...trust the locals. A few years ago , my wife went to Italy for work. Beyond the obvious names, my knowledge of Italian wines is not what it should be. So it happened that the Spectator had just published reviews of Italians..I ripped it out and said here you go.
When she took that into the shop, the salespeople kept nodding their heads. The disagreed very much with the vintages recommended.
I wish I could tell you who was right, but the first bottle I opened (this is years later) was so badly corked, I didn't even bother to taste it. Damn cork.
