CLUB WRITEUPS

April 2006 Specialty Club

2004 Seghesio Home Ranch Zinfandel
This is always a yummy, rich zin that is getting increasingly hard to obtain.  I really like a lot of wine from the Alexander Valley; there´s a delicacy there that I don´t often see.  This one´s $36.00, and we have a tiny bit left.  It´s ready to go.

2004 Henri Bourgeois La Cote des Monts Damnes Sancerre
Occasionally it seems as if certain producers live in these clubs, doesn´t it?  M. Bourgeois does indeed make outstanding wine on a frequent level.  When I tried this one, I was stunned at the delicacy.  It needs a bit of time to unwind; about a year.  This is a beautiful, balanced Sancerre that shows the terroir of the Monts Damnes hillside extraordinarily well.  There is a bit more of this available at $27.00.
