2005 Nicolas Joly Clos de la Coulée de Serrant Savennières-Coulée de Serrant Chenin Blanc

Old World Grab Bag (Dino Restaurant - Washington, DC): Oily nose. Petroleum based product - lacquer, house paint? Very sherry-like. Also honeysuckle, anise and florals. Viscous, honey, aggressive acid. Finishes kinda funky. Guessed correctly to be Loire Chenin Blanc.

It's so full bodied it can stand up to almost anything I'd imagine. I'm thinking a strong cheese maybe? I don't have much experience with this kind of Chenin, let alone pairing it with food. The Joly wines are really unique and different. You can almost treat them like a red wine, decant and all that stuff. Truly amazing stuff. Have you had a Joly wine before. I saw him speak at a biodynamic event and tasted a few of his wines. Really crazy stuff.

2006 Conterno Fantino Barbera d'Alba Vignota

Nose is full of sweet cherry and sour cranberry. As the bottle lay open, a slight pipe tobacco component also start growing. Silky smooth mouthfeel on this wine, but didn't have the complexity to make it an all-star.
