Thanks Brian, I hadn't seen that one before. Talking of Loire blogs, I was very happily surprised that Jim Budd has one, too: http://jimsloire.blogspot.com/ . I guess Budd isn't very well known on that side of the Atlantic, but in England he is known for his drinks investment fraud website, http://www.investdrinks.org .

Thanks for those links, Brian and Otto. I find Jim Budd the more informative.

Yes, thanks to both of you. Two very different styles, clearly.

Thanks for the link to Jim's Loire Blog! Looks intriguing.

Just as with Rhone wines (the opposite end of the style spectrum, I know), I find the wines of the Loire fascinating and screaming good deals! I still drink and love selected California wines (a lot of Cali wines), but... :twisted:
