1) Josephine Dubois, Montmains, Chablis 1 er Cru, Terre Minerale, Grand Vin de Bourgogne, 2004 (Yonne, France) - :) There was so much written on the label on this one I really wasn't sure what it was called, but I knew it was Chablis and apparently a quality Cru Chablis.  I had read that this type of wine is generally very acidic and minerally.  Yep.  I'd say there was very little white wine flavor but a tremendous abundance of the minerals and acidity.  And I'm sure with some types of food this is the ideal accompaniment, but I'll be honest, I was drinking it by itself.  It actually gave me indigestion.  It's back in the fridge and I really don't know when I'm going to have the occasion to pull this back out to go with a dinner.  So I'd say as a nitche wine it's terrific, I've never had another wine quite like it, but outside that small nitche I'd pass on having it.

2) Mont Tauch, Chasse Gardee, Appelation Fitou Controlee, 2005 ( France) - This was advertised as an interesting and smooth wine from a less well known French appelation.  I agree it's well blended, nicely smooth.  I think I'll buy an extra bottle for sharing with someone.  And it's priced reasonably compared to the better known appelations.  Try this.

3) Paul Lehrner, Mittelburgenland, Blaufrankish Gfanger, 2005 (Hungary) - I gave Hungary a second shot after the Bulls Blood fiasco I previously reviewed.  I liked this a lot more.  But to be honest it didn't have a lot of flavor.  In fact if I didn't know it was from Hungary I would have thought this was a not too expensive wine which could have come from anywhere.  On the plus side, the store claims this wine has been tested and shown to have a very high amount of resveretrol so depsite the limited flavor it is at least very good for me.
