January Rhônes (Chicago, IL): Honestly, I didn't even know Pégau made a white wine. This was super weird. Of the Rhône whites tonight, this had the most acidity, but that didn't help against the distinct caramel apple note on the nose and palate. A lot of cooked apple, but also a contradictory oily texture that I found somewhat unpleasant. Very interesting to try, but I wouldn't want to have to drink even a glass of this.

Fantastic, drank at casanova in Carmel, much lighter than other CdP blanc we've had. Minerals, some light fruit. Crisp and balanced, high alcohol not noticeable.

Annual Holiday CDP Tasting: Featuring 2000 and 2001 Vintages (Edina Country Club): Medium gold color. Popped and poured. Drank several glasses over an hour plus. The nose is particularly bright and layered, with lots of tropical notes, very pure pear, hints of apples and citrus, white flowers, and later the minerality shows. The palate is very tangy, nice acid, lots of minerality, but the fruit still shines here, with pear more predominant. Very nice finish. This wine was quite enjoyable and one of my favorites of the night. Thanks so much to Joe for sharing. (#1000)
