A survey of Domaine Huet (Chicago, IL): Very different from the straight 2021 sec alongside -- this was very much closer to the 2007. Very peachy, with a distinct honeyed/floral tone. I can't help but think that this had to have been picked a little later than the secs of 2019 and 2021. I get a little bit of botrytis here (or at least I think I do). For my palate, I preferred this to the 2007, owing to the relative freshness of this younger wine.

Anything But (still) Chardonnay - ABC wines | Q3 Wine Club (The Apt): Wine #15: Never easy to be on the heels of a sweet wine (I think that's showing up across this tasting) and in this case a D'Yquem. This wine was a bit different. Meant to be a demi-sec I think, but we didn't really get that flavor profile from it. I had that it was a bit different and odd in my notes, but didn't have much else written. Often a wine a like so I wonder if just a touch place in the line-up. (0 pennies)

Q3 - 2018 Tasting - Whites - “ABC” Anything but Chardonnay (New York, NY): 15/18 white wines tasted double blind. The nose is grassy. On the palate lots of citrus fruit - particularly grapefruit, tart and fresh. I was thinking Loire Sauv Blanc and was surprised that this was Vouvray.
