Bougrier Famille Vouvray

Name: Bougrier Famille Vouvary
Color: White
Varietal: Chenin Blanc
Vintage: 2010
Country/State: France
Region: Vouvray
Price: $12
Stars: 4 (out of 5)

We had this Vouvray a couple of weeks ago and thought it was terrific. A little on the sweet side, but still crisp and refreshing. Good fruit flavors with a generous amount of honey. Chenin Blanc is quickly becoming one of our go-to white varietals.

About This Blog

The main purpose of this blog is to provide an outlet for my wife and I to keep track of and easily organize wines as we buy them, drink them, and review them. Although we have been drinking wine for years, we really developed a strong interest in wine in the late summer of 2008. From about August of 2008 through mid-March of 2009, we consumed approximately 35 bottles of wine. I have tried to keep track of these wines and our feelings about them, primarily through the use of Excel spreadsheets. I am hoping that this blog will allow us to accomplish some of these goals more effectively and interactively. I briefly summarized these wines in the first post of the blog. Subsequently, I will post more detailed notes regarding our tastings as we look to expand our palates and continue our journey of exploring the world of wine. Along the way, I will try to make notes about my wine-related influences and provide links to some of my favorite sources on the web. Occasionally, I may post about other life events or happenings in the world of sports and music, two of my other passions.
