And yes, thinking about how a wine wants food rather than standing alone is so often overlooked, but it really makes tasting notes more practical. I love connecting with fellow wine enthusiasts who notice the same details!
Really solid breakdown on the Le Garenne. The bit about core fruit acidity cutting through the glycerine texture is spot on, tried a similiar Loire Chenin last year and that quince-lime combo is kinda what keeps these under-$20 bottels interesting. The way you note it wants food rather than standing solo is something alot of tasting notes miss, makes it way more useful for actual pairing decisions.
Just followed you on Threads too! 🍷 Let’s support each other.
with pleasure!

Loved the interview with Geoffrey Finch. I’ve been on two of his wine walks and they are eye-opening and fun.
What a thrill to have my two favourite wine guys in conversation!!!!

Thank you. That's what I'm trying to do.
