Icewine from Tempranillo? Something light and bubbly from Syrah?


Yes. This news will also come as a surprise to the various AOCs who legislate what grape varietals can be planted there. I look forward to tasting Syrah based Bordeaux in the coming years. After all, only the terroir matters anyway.

Ingenious. Bravo sir. Whoever you are, bravo.

The 2nd is actually called Reserve de la Comtesse and Clos de Marquis is , albeit atypically, produced in a separate vineyard from the 1st wine which is labeled Leoville-Las Cases.

Bravo. Great job stirring up us proles with wonderfully crafted misstatements

[\\Petrus1] Just let me quickly explain that icewine is actually made from grapes that are left on the vine after frost begins in the winter. The frost happens because the temperature drops. When the temperature drops below freezing, the grapes actually freeze. This is how icewine happens - in germany it is called eiswine, which is german for ice-wine. [\\Petrus1]

Additionally, Petrus's moostasch is impeccably waxed, not shaggy and proleesq. Your photo of him is also missing the duel monocles he wears as a mark of distinction.
