Louis/Dressner Selections Tasting
Terroir Natural Wine Merchant and Bar, San Francisco, California
Tasted Thursday, April 23, 2009 by rjonwine@gmail.com with 1,748 views
Introduction
This was a nice opportunity to taste through a portion of the Louis Dressner catalogue, in the fun/wine scene setting of Terroir in San Francisco. A number of the wines seemed like good, but not particularly special, representatives of their appellations, with the exception of the Luneau-Papin Muscadets and the Francois Pinon Vouvrays, which were quite impressive. I also really liked the Vergano sweet wines, which were new to me.
