2005 Verget Pouilly-Fuissé Terroirs de Vergisson

[TheEngineer]

This is a solid bottle, great nose, good smooth texture, good acidity for the vintage and nicely put together. Good balance but not a knock your socks off bottle. Perhaps more advanced than excepted as teh cork was mostly soaked 90% up to the top.

I've had some nice Verget white Burgundies in the past but haven't seen them around since Carolina Wine Company went out of business.

[TheEngineer]

when did they go out of business?

They closed down way back in January, 2009, but I think they actually filed for bankruptcy protection in March. Interestingly, there's a distributor here in MA called Carolina Wine, but there's no connection that I know of.

Thanks KC! I was hoping Charles would be okay. I saw him a few months ago and he seemed to be doing well.

Probably no connection. Carolina Wine Company, based in Raleigh, was owned by Chrish Peel and his wife.

Pulled out what I thought would be a good bet and I was not disappointed. No change in notes and much appreciated by all.
