Enjoy your Loire days!!! So happy for you and keep us updated with the wonders you drink. And thank you for the tips to cellar some Loire’s CF that can do so.

Thank you María! It was a busy few days of tasting. I will be sure to write a recap of some of my most memorable bottles!

As Tom wrote: "Sooo jealous." I would be more than happy to exclusively drink Loire Valley wines for the rest of my days. When time permits, please share more about your visit!

You and I are cut from the same cloth, Michael! I would absolutely do the same. I’m grateful to be in a world with so much delicious Loire Cabernet Franc, and for it to be affordable as well. 😊

Awesome! I haven’t had much experience with Cabernet Francs from the 70s. I would love to taste those. Hope to see you too! If you see me, say hi! 🙂

Have an amazing time in the Loire Allison! Sooo jealous. And I think you're spot on that we underestimate the ageing potential of Cab Franc, they can do it so well - including bottles that are not expensive.

Thank you Tom! It will be a brief but delicious trip I’m sure. 😁 I couldn’t agree more. I love drinking older Loire Cab Franc! I would drink it any chance I could!
