Will have to give other Tissot wines (besides the chard, sparkler and Poulsard) a try sometime.Joe Manekinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04068628197191676490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8322497686869465958.post-18249562282868153222009-09-26T19:49:17.555-07:002009-09-26T19:49:17.555-07:00Damn, brother.

Of course, I did have an early AM flight to look forward to. And I haven't blogged since.... I'll get to it one of these days, though you've left me with little reason to attempt notes on Terroir night!<br /><br />A few thoughts:<br /><br />- I tried Tavijn's Grignolino the day before and it was giving nothing. Tight as a drum, plus a cardboard-y background note that had me thinking low-grade TCA, though Luc and Dagan didn't agree.<br /><br />- I'll make no arguments for Tissot being on the same plane as Puffeney and Overnoy/Houillon, but it seems I am a bigger fan than you and Slaton. Have you tried the Arbois "Selection" (note <a href="http://mcduffwine.blogspot.com/2009/04/two-from-tissot.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>?<br /><br />- Bunan may have been ill advised but it was a good time. <br /><br />Thanks to you and Natalie for all the hospitality.David McDuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03274955351036700406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8322497686869465958.post-71789278761565086892009-09-24T20:53:55.013-07:002009-09-24T20:53:55.013-07:0002 Houillon is probably really singing right now! ...02 Houillon is probably really singing right now! Need to try Tissot Trousseau. While I'd happily drink a glass of any of his wines, to date there isn't much there to make me want to pour another glass or linger over a bottle.<br /><br />Get yourself to Terroir! And let us know when you do so we can order a bunch of bottles and do it right.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />JoeJoe Manekinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15920171629129831900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8322497686869465958.post-78428472427269026382009-09-24T14:45:44.770-07:002009-09-24T14:45:44.770-07:00The Houllion story is too bad for us here in the s...The Houllion story is too bad for us here in the states - but I am pleased that he will probably make some money, regardless of who from.<br />I bought heavily in 2002, 2006 and 2007, so, despite missing out on the 2008, I will still have some to keep me company on those cold winter nights in Florida - or something like that.<br />FWIW, I like Tissot's version but prefer is Trouseau. And, of course, Puffeny does everything well.<br />I need to get to Terroir one of these days - 'never been.<br />Best, JimFlorida Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08425683028082383050noreply@blogger.com
