TN: Sancerre and Savigny
 

Tuesday Betsy was rehearsing in NYC, but prepped dinner so I could
finish as she came home. With scallops and asparagus in a lemony
sauce, the 2007 Andre Vatan "Les Charmes" Sancerre. Classic if
not superb Sancerre, good citrusy fruit with some chalky mineral
notes. Zippy acids stand up to the lemon sauce. B

Wednesday Betsy made pork chops and an eggplant salad. Opened a half
bottle of the 2006 [b]Simon Bize “les Bourgeots”Savigny-les-Beaune[/
b] (this is a village Savigny, not a 1er). Lovely cherry and red plum
fruit, spicy, some tannins. Lively and bright. Good to start with,
better with air. B+

Grade disclaimer: I'm a very easy grader, basically A is an excellent
wine, B a good wine, C mediocre. Anything below C means I wouldn't
drink at a party where it was only choice. Furthermore, I offer no
promises of objectivity, accuracy, and certainly not of consistency.
