Comment on Bollinger Vin Clairs (and bottle) Tasting by Bob Ehrlich

Bollinger does make great wines. However sounds to me like you were either rushed or intimidated. Where is the Wakawaka existential message? What, if anything, did the wine evoke? The shibboleth is that in the 19th century they had a lot of unsaleble white wine until Madam Clquot “invented” modern champagne. At the tasting, what did the still component wines taste like compared to the final bubbly product.

Without getting into a overwrought debate, JD your reaction to this article seems a little closed minded. I think the author has done a great job expressing the various considerations and debates that are going into the orange wine movement in the U.S. right now, both as influenced by the old world and as self-discovery. Anyone with experience can attest that there are, objectively, orange wines that possess positive characteristics that do not exist in ‘regular’ white wines. Understanding why certain orange wines possess those characteristics and others do not seems a question of fundamental importance to anyone who wants to advance both thinking on and quality of white wines. Diversity of approach is a good thing, and there are many ways to come to discovery a truth.

Anyhow, excellent article as always. I’m looking forward to the next article!
