Sauvignon Blanc, Episode 4 Jancis Robinson’s Wine Course

November 30th, 2009


The first 8 minutes of Sauvignon Blanc, Episode 4 Jancis Robinson’s Wine Course
www.jancisrobinson.com

http://www.jancisrobinson.com/articles/bookdvd.html to buy the full five-hour set of the multi-award-wining tv series Jancis Robinsons Wine Course.

The fourth episode of Jancis Robinson’s Wine Course – a beautifully filmed tour of the world of wine presented and written by Jancis Robinson and based on dozens of stunning locations in four continents.

Each of the ten half-hour programmes is centred on a major grape variety or theme but provides a complete wine education including how wine is made, tasted, stored and enjoyed.

See more at www.JancisRobinson.com – updated daily and the only place you’ll find all of the Oxford Companion to Wine and all of the World Atlas of Wine maps online

For my money, the site worth paying for is www.jancisrobinson.com’ – LA Times survey of wine websites

A 2-disc PAL version of the DVD is available from Amazon UK. It is distributed by B-motion of Holland in Europe.

Duration : 0:7:2

Markets/regions where Sauvignon Blanc isn’t popular?

November 29th, 2009


I need to know if there are markets/regions where Sauvignon Blanc hasn’t been successful, and the reason for it.

Sauvignon Blanc is one of the most popular around. It wouldn’t fail.

I love an-off dry white. Ehrenfelser, Gewurztraminer, Alsace Pinot Gris.?

November 29th, 2009


Your favourite mis-understood wine?

Fortified – Madeira
White – all of your above plus a really good single vineyard Soave.
Red – Zinfandel
Sparkling – Rose Champagne

I’m having a bottle of Cedar Creek Ehrenfelser with maple BBQ salmon tonight. Yum.
If you like aromatic whites – try Torres’s San Valentin made from Parralada grapes or go Greek and try Boutari’s Moscofilero.

What is a good German chardonnay to give as a gift?

November 29th, 2009


Long story short I’m picking up a bottle of wine – Chardonnay for my mom for Christmas.

It has to be German and I know nothing about wine.

I know she likes the gross cheap stuff like Franzia, Benziger and Sutter Home. She used to be a white zin fan.

Can you suggest a good german chardonnay along those lines?

Thanks…

Merry Christmas!

Try a Sielsberg Kabinett 1975
