Henriot / Kimberly Keslin/ glazer d and e

Bouchard Bourgogne Blanc 2011.  a light tropical nose, with subtle notes on the palate... finish was a little lean but pleasant

Bouchard Bourgogne Rouge 2010.. light in color. silky smooth, almost too much so. maybe needs some time to open up..

William Fevre Chablis Champs Royale 2011  lean soft, a little oaky influence but mostly restrained chablis

Henriot Brut Souverain NV.. one of the most flavorful Champaigne in a long time... pretty yeasty nose, with coffee and mocha on the finish.. great mousse... a 50 50 blend of Pinot and chardonnay... long finish.. not wimpy at all

Il ghizzano Toscano IGT 2010.. no mistaking this wine for Italian.. sangiovese and some petite verdot and other bordeaux grapes.. leather and black cherry

Condesa Eylo Verdejo Spain 2011.. surprisingly tropical, floral a little bit of Sauv Blanc in the mix goes a long way.. citrus and lime.. lots of mid palate activity.. not sure yet if I care for it
