Pronunciation

[chittychattykathy]

It's Shah(n)- pahn- yuh, baby. & Yes do use that "T" on the end of Jouet, the vice-pres of the company did when we had dinner with him at the Maizon. (Oh, what a night) I mostly use our "American" pronunciations as most folks I meet wouldn't know what the h#*@ I was saying otherwise. But it's very cool/fun to learn some wine-French, German, Italian etc... Great for parties/dates/or (not any of us of course) snobby wine folks. Just don't try using French enunciation's for American wines, ex: St. Supry or Ste. Michelle, cuz that's just plain goofy! (Bonus vocab: Mumms is Moom(s) not Mums (like mom in England), as it is a German family name. And man is it hard to get used to hearing and saying it!)
