Appropos Of Nothing IMPORTANT (none / 1)

Regardless of where you are, go out and buy a case or two of Fayard 2007 from Domain de Fondre`che, Cotes dy Ventoux (does that have something to do with wind?. Likely less than 10€ a bottle, and still a bit young, this is one of those happy wine accidents that years later everyone wishes they had gedrunked.

Exceptional, and red.

You've just reminded me, I opened a bottle of red earlier. I'm sure it has had time to breathe by now.

I didn't know you spoke fish.

(i know it's Welsh, though for some reason, the meaning escapes me.)

Haven't tasted the Persia yet, but can't imagine it compares to the value of the Fayard for so little money. (Based on the one it tasted, perhaps it does.)

Merci for the website, never looked.
