Revisit with Maisons Marques & Domaines

Thierry from Maisons came by with many of the same wines from his last visit in October.

Scharffenberger Brut nv nice bubbles a great first of the day drink to have...2/3 Pinot noir

Ladoucette Les Deux Tours Sauv Blanc 2006 a second label for Ladoucette. and to me not too typical of the Loire SB. a little acidity, not much of the grassy character.

Marc Bredif Chinon 2006 completely stainless steel which is interesting because there is a definite smoky character which shows what cab franc can do. great food wine, acidity, spice...nice

Marques Murrietta Rioja Reserva 2004 cedar nose, new american oak influence. almost overpowering. mostly tempranillo...i still liked it but not as much as last time.

Dominus 2005 96 points from Parker..beautiful nose, dark berry fruit. lots of silky smooth tannins.
