Community Tasting Note

Friday, November 3, 2023 - Grand Jury du Vin - Republic of Georgia; 11/1/2023-11/9/2023 (Republic of Georgia then stopover in Paris and Dijon): Wine 31 – Perfectly ripe black fruit, truffle, and espresso. Silky and cool. A bit straightforward.

Afterthought – The wine that I rated 100 points during the EP. Need to revisit soon.

I repeat the process to make sure I didn't miss anything. Then I smell and taste them. Finally, I select the top ten to fifteen wines for a more careful evaluation. In my way of blind tasting, nuance often gets lost for me.

For my palate, VCC has been making some of the best wines since 2009.
