A damned good read

This particular issue is a fantastic, fun and rapid educational material for anyone who wishes to appreciate their Bourgognes better. I don't normally have high praises for people who try to explain any burgundy wines or tradition, but Rusty did it here!

There's also a great section on the recent quality releases of Cali Pinots where Wes Mar, Radio-Coteau, Littorai, and Dehlinger were all mentioned. It seems quite clear that the 2003 vintage for the Sonoma county will be a good one. Specifically for Coteau and Littorai, I am looking forward to taste them when Andy returns from his San Francisco trip. The man will have a major pinotfest with the Prince himself. Lots of good Aussies and he's going to be tasting Littorai and whatever else Rusty is bringing. I'm most jealous...
