Can you remember James and Oz doing the same test in France.

James own brew a 10 euro bottle and a 100 euro wine.
Everyone selected the 100 euro wine apart from one who said James was best. (tv back hander I reckon)
So have Amercians got no taste ?? I guess it depends on where you hold the event, outside the poundstore or Harolds will not give a good cross mix of people I guess ??

I offen try this on friends, serve a wine blind and gauge results.
The last one was the Potensac 1978 which most people called correct to region / grape but thought it was no older than 10/12 years.

I always enjoy trying blind as you are influenced by any hipe you have about a wine.

Just my 2p worth on this topic !!

Belle Epoque '99 gets a bollocking - without the flouncy label

I've tasted the 3 cheaper ones. I really like the Duval-Leroy vintage '04.
Transparent, very light and airy, tiny bit of toasted buscuit, a blanc de blancs with balance. Lovely actually, when served cool, and outside last Saturday on the patio and only £17.99 from Waitrose for a week ! Well, or until stock ran out - which was about 3 days here - 100's of tiny titch bubbles, visually very discreet. William - more bubbles appeared when the wine warmed a little - we had the glasses in the fridge before serving, and poured very carefully.

Being polite, William Beavington tasting with him is well ...Z&'#$%?, as far as throwing any further light on the analysis - It's Christmas
