Boston Wine Expo

I have proved one thing for sure, German Reisling, the best. It is true waht they say, from dry to sweet. I feel like one of those barely legal guys because I did not take notes. It was definitely a mad house. My friend went Sunday and they ran out of wine by 3. I also made another discovery, Brazillian sparkling wine. I had no idea it exsited. The E Guigal rep was there with a great collection of 01 - 04 Chat. Du Pape and some others (Cotes Rhone). The E Guigal rep said the 03 Chat du Pape is supposed to be as good if not better than the 1999. I think it was kindo of flat myself. I like the real earthy chalky flavor myself. First time I had a Languedoc and I like it. White Burgundy was also another pleasant surprise. Dr. Loosen, Great. I hope I don't come off as an ***hole for not taking notes. It was an enjoyable time until later on when the crowd was rowdy and drunk. Rudeness was there. All around good time. That is my first large organized tasting. The next one will have to be DC when I will be better prepared. Thanks for going over the list and throwing the suggestions my way. The Barefoot Bubbly was not all that bad either. Barefoot is definitley a bargain in my book.
