I tried the 2006 Ch Pesquie Terraces yesterday and it seemed a bit short and flat/simple to me in comparison to the 2005.

I also did not try previous vintages of the Pesquié but found the 2006 to be pretty good QPR for a sub $16 wine and was a hit (factoring in price) at the Holiday parties and preferred over the Pillar Box Red that was served concurrently. Haven't tried the Santa Duc yet.

No issues with the Pesquié for me, I'll buy more.

Exactly, thats what makes it fun ! LOL
quote:I can also save a dollar by taking some Santa Duc - here are 4 reasons: 1) The product of 50 year old vines, harvested very late, & bottled unfiltered; (2) Nice cepage of 70% Grenache, 25% Syrah, 5% Mourvedre; (3) The grapes in the blend came from every part of the southern Rhone: 25% Vacqueyras, 25% Rasteau, 25% Seguret, 25% Rouaix, while technically only a Cotes du Rhone, the grapes from the best desginated villages in the appellation. ; (4) Grapes harvested at 2.5 tons per acre - incredibly low yield for a wine of $15.

For $12.80 (+ deposit) you guys should try the '07 Antonin Rodet CdR, a non-vintage selection. Far better than the Santa Duc IMHO. It has become my house wine until I get more of the '06 Castellare CC's in.

Kinda of. Will use in a blind Champagne tasting...hehe

Being this is the only Sparkling Wine that could possibly be in your possesion, Mimik, (and a blind Champagne tasting would be just that, CHAMPAGNE) you'll need to wait for a Sparkling Wine tasting (do we even do those!?).
The eye is on you, my friend.![]()
