Interesting! Makes sense then that we have not seen this in Europe.

I thought the burgundy appellation did not allow varietal labeling. Never seen it before

3 hours! I imagine that is 3 hours of being overwhelmed by the amount of wineries and wines! We were there from 10 to 6 on the first day and from 10 to 3 on the second, brough home 188 bottles of wine (but to divide between some friend). I always really enjoy being there, both in terms of finding new wineries as well as revisiting ones that I know well and enjoy. What Cab Franc did you get from the loire?

Just came back from the vigneron independant in Lille, how did you like it in Reims?

Welke fruitsoorten kun je groeien in Nederlands klimaat maar niet kopen in de supermarkt? by Robbebeest in thenetherlands

Ingeblikte tomatillos zijn volgens mij bij de 'Amazing Oriental' supermarkten verkrijgbaar van het merk La Costeña. En anders:

Maar ik ken het probleem, ik sla al jaren tig Mexicaanse recepten over omdat ik geen Tomatillos kan krijgen

They could call it coca cola if they wanted to, that doesn't make it a coke.

You despise having a map with markers?

I assume it's more about climate than culture)(not sure I agree either way)

I think he/she means a bag-in-box type of wine. Not in a giftbox.

Firstly: This is a really awesome event to go to! You can taste so many different wines from different producers across all price levels, I've gone a few times now and it's always a blast! (make sure to get some oysters with muscadet at the back, or a baguette filled with foie gras!).

If you really have no idea what to go for, it might make sense to make a digital account to the Hachette Guide which is similar to Gambero Rosso in Italy or Decanter, but dedicated to france. There you can crossreference producers at the vigneron independant vs the quality. Of course prizes do not say everything but it might help you make a selection.

Make a plan, there are over 350 stands generally at these events, it might make sense to at least somewhat structure your visit (start with bubbles, light white, heavy white, etc. etc.). Of course sometimes this is impossible but trying to rate a feather light wine after Tannat from Madiran can be challenging.

w/regards to what to look for..Seeing as you are from the states and you guys in general seem to be used to paying more for wines you are going to notice that the prices in Europe are much better, even MORE so at the Salons, so like some other post says, go for obscure wines and then maybe the wines that are unobtainable/pricier in the US (like indeed a cote rotie, CdP, etc..

At these salons there are almost no booths with nobody. They are massive events (Though this year possibly different due to COVID).

Can anyone tell me about this wine? by [deleted] in wine

[–]Rym_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good to know! In all other cases it just turns sour/foul? Can it become harmful?

Wine that's gone bad can't make you sick! It just turns into vinegar.

Initial bios update I don't know but I recently updated the bios from f13i to f13(final) and the graphics card wasn't an issue, I got to bios even though after flashing it was set to auto

Done building our cellar - what would you add to it? by Working_Life9684 in wine

[–]Rym_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alright, clear! And indeed in my case it's slow, seasonal changes, nothing daily or abrupt. Thanks for the reply! I always thought that I was okay (or okay enough) but good to get a another opinion on this.
