uncovering the individualist, iconoclast, leader, follower, imitator, trend-setter, inspired and independent; the whore, slut, prude, effeminate, delicate, and luxurious; the animal, the gruff, the masculine, and the muscle-flexing; the smooth, the rough, the balanced and unbalanced, the harmonious and unharmonious, the reserved and outspoken, the adamant and uncertain and the confused; and the simple-minded, homogenous, insipid, and uninspired; in the expression of wine.

Château de Passavant

Vintage: 2005
Producer: Château de Passavant
Appellation: Coteaux du Layon
Cuvée : Les Greffiers

On My Palate:
Rich raisin honey. singing. Enticing. Inviting. Can’t put it down.

The Dregs:
Another Biodynamic, organic effort.

This wine is near perfect. It is so seductive on the mouth that it belies you into indulging as much as possible until gone. Once the cork comes out, it will never go back in.

This is noble rot-affected, sweet wine elixir. The blood of bacchus? Or maybe just his sweat. after drinking this, dry, red wine will be forever clumsy and boring.

A perfect pairing with blue cheese and honey. Awakens a new dimension of sensual, palate pleasure.

Where:
Loire Valley wine tasting around the granite island in the kitchen at Pierre’s house in Encinitas.

Exceptional
