Riesling Auslese GoldKap Wehlener Sonnenuhr 1997, J. J. Prum: The [link2post id=”1026″]1996 was marvellous[/link2post], why not step up a quality level and go for a better vintage too. £48 from Fine and Rare Wines.
Cornas Domaine de Rochepertuis 1999, Jean Lionnet: Proper Cornas that is silky and beautiful, tomorrow I’ll be having the 1998. £23.45 from Jeroboams.
Shiraz by Farr 2004, Gary Farr: He made one of my favourite Australian Shirazes at Bannockburn, this is his personal effort. He’s made wine with Alain Graillot, what more could one ask? £18.95 from Tannners.
Pinot Noir by Farr 2004, Gary Farr: He has made some great vintages in Burgundy so his Pinot credentials are spotless. I’m just about to order some of this. £18.95 from Tanners.
Chablis Premier Cru Montee de Tonnerre 2005, Louis Michel: A 1029″]more minor 2005 was lovely recently, trade up to a serious Premier Cru. £16.17 from Howard Ripley.
Gary Farr made wine with Alain Graillot? News to me… That said, it takes nothing away from the quality of his wine.
I am sure Alain mentioned it once when I was slagging off Australian Shiraz. I agreed with his assessment of Gary Farr as a fine winemaker. Doesn’t charge too much for his wares, either.
It is a shame you lost that Serré as that was proper Pinot. OK, not Burgundy (although I can understand how people might mistake it for Dujac:), but not all good things come from Burgundy.
