Always a great time. I will try but that week is already looking bad.

One way to make it look better…

Jun 8 or Jun 13 work for me, away for the rest alas.
Can bring some 2021 Domaine Huet Vouvray Demi-Sec Le Haut-Lieu and maybe some other surprise.

Sorry I’m not going to make this tasting, hope to make the next one.

This was an amazing evening! Thanks for setting it up @gavin.f

My WOTN was easily the Francois Cotat '06! Lots of change over the hours of air, and it was great whatever state it was in.

gavin.f · June 18, 2024, 4:36pm

You got it! Really was fantastic time.

Also think the Francois Cotat 2006 la grande Cote was my wotn. Thought other favorites also great. Will add some tasting notes as time allows.
