Picky Winers Club

I had been so stoked  on my discovery of 2005 Domaine Calot Morgon, and I was ready to explore more of French wines.

I found myself at Marquis Wine Cellar on Davie, describing my tasting experience on the Domaine Calot with such enthusiasm.  A guy who worked there informed me that nothing at the store could be a close match to that wine from the same region. But he pointed out this bottle from Rhône Valley, another well-known French wine country. 

I did not enjoy it nearly as much as the Domaine Calot.  It had a oaky mineral flavor, probably more suitable for drinking in a funky mood but definitely not while having such high expectation to please the palate.

I had been truly spoiled by the Domaine Calot it seemed.

Blehh…  A little bit of a disappointment.  But I would not mind trying it again sometime.
