World Series of Wine
Tasted Sunday, November 4, 2012 by Loren Sonkin with 794 views
Yesterday, I attended an annual fundraiser for our local PBS station. In addition to their Grand Tastings of mass quantities of supermarket wines, they had seminars. Dan Greathouse can always be counted on to give an excellent presentation on Bordeaux including some real treats. This was no exception. Although the primary beneficiary of the $100 entrance fee is PBS, no doubt all who attended felt like they got their money's worth.
Dan also happened to mention about the new James Bond Bollinger wine. It comes with a way cool case. I wish I knew what to use that case for after the wine, because it is really cool.
The wines had been poured ahead of time (not sure how long). Cheese and crackers were served alongside.
Dan always has a few extra treats out in the lobby.
Looking forward to next year and 2010. Dan?
NV Bollinger Champagne Special Cuvée Brut 92 Points
France, Champagne
Golden in color with lots of small bubbles. The nose is slightly burnt toast. Very smooth with a nice acidity. Slight lime notes along with a nice minerality. Very smooth. Nice way to start the tasting.
