Marsanne

[misterjive]

Appropriately, given the names, one Joseph (Robert) halfway agrees with another (Scmoe) and writes, "Marsanne can make wines which are wonderfully flowery in their youth, and nutty, lemony, and rich after a decade or so--but very dull in between."

Karena's response (at least . . . not a chard) strikes a chord, somehow.

The overall response to my inquiry is impressive and most appreciated. I believe the response speaks to a desire among the wine community to seek out more idiosyncratic varietals (whatever that means).

Again, thanks for the tips....
