| Bordelet Poire Authentique |
A former sommelier at a 3 star restaurant places
his passion for wine into his production of first class Normandy cider. Old trees, low yields and
terroir mean as much to cider as they do to wine. Champagne like and dry, the pear aromas are
subtly balanced by citrus and white flowers that linger long into the finish.

| Bordelet Poire Granit |
Poiré Granit actually has 75-80 grams of sugar per liter, yet it
doesn't taste particularly sweet. This is due to the tannin and acidity, which
Bordelet says is twice as high as the apple!

| Bordelet Sydre Argelette |
The Argelette,
Eric notes, "is more winey. Some vintages have to stay in the cellar
longer. Argelette is the type of soil and it's the same 40-40-20 blend of the
other apple ciders." This tends to have more skin contact, he explains.

| Bordelet Sydre Doux |
The Sydre
"Doux" is an off-dry apple cider, with about 80 grams per
liter of sugar, yet it is beautifully balanced. A Brut apple has but about 5-10
grams per liter, so it's drier than many Brut Champagnes!

| Brunier Telegramme CDP 2004 |
| It pours clear garnet, very light in color for a Châteauneuf-du-Pape. It seems light on the nose and palate, too, opening with a vinous scent of raspberries, spice, faint vegetal notes and a high-toned whiff of volatile acidity. It's a little more inviting in its flavor, juicy and very tart, simple red fruit and white pepper over almost sour acidity, on the thin side. |

| Carsin Cuvee Noir 2005 |
| The complex nose is already nicely developed, very open and rich. It
has aromas of ripe, almost sweet fruits and cassis as well as plums and
earthy and spicy roasted characters. The taste is very rich and
mouth-filling. Aromas are similar to the nose - dark berries, smoke and
well integrated oak. The rich fruitness is supported with soft tannins.
The aftertaste is intensive, very long and harmonious, leaving a
mouth-watering feeling. |

| Charbonniere CDP VV 2003 |
The best balanced wine of the entire portfolio
of 2003s is the 2003 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Vieilles Vignes. A complex nose
of mineral, kirsch liqueur, raspberries, balsam, and pepper jumps from the
glass of this medium to full-bodied, nicely layered, structured, rich wine with
notes of black cherry and raspberry. Deep but with lovely ripe tannin, this
wine can be drunk now or cellared for 10-12 years.
