Henri Bourgeois “Petit Bourgeois” Sauvignon 2004 Monday, Apr 17 2006
Tasting Notes and France and Loire Valley and Variety and White and sauv blanc et al
This wine originates from the slopes of the Loire Valley called the “Jardin de la France”. Quite pale in colour. On the nose, it shows white asparagus, gooseberries, lemon, a vague greenness, but this is complemented by a savoury oyster shell saltiness – very nice. On the palate, zesty acid, lemon and gooseberries but not too herbaceous. Medium bodied with some lively acid. Very enjoyable but not a wine I could drink a lot of.

I love the Silex by this producer, its my favourite tipple to enjoy whilst relaxing at Vogue Cafe in Moscow.

Ah, Vogue Cafe…. the place to be seen… some lovely sights parading around the room at various times…
Have you been to Galleria, also quite optically pleasing…? A new restaurant has just opened too, Turandot, they spent something like $40 million US on it, even spent time training the staff to smile ( no kidding). Worth a look.

I dont normally leave the confines of the Park Hyatt, especially the roof top restaurant and bar…:)

But you made it down to Vogue! Obviously you have ventured further afield at some point…
