Jacob's Bar & Kjøkken Wine List Updated for March 2010 – 5 Unsulfured wines added!
Here’s the latest update. Even though I practically eliminated my entire Champagne selection, this month I have added a new Champagne. Drappier’s Brut Nature is organic and made without the addition of sulfur dioxide. This isn’t the only sans soufre wine added this month! 4 more un-sulfured wines were added (for a total of 5) and one that has no detectable sulfur! The most stunning Beaujolais Nouveau I have ever tasted also arrived at Jacob’s yesterday!

Aha, great have to study that one. Send me a box with of each one 😉 Is that Drapier the normal Brut? Like to try that one. Don’t know anything about Champagne, only that most I tasted are terrible. Larmandier I like though.

btw just opened this, you know? http://www.quarticello.it/scheda_despina.htm
Ed!
It’s the Drappier Brut Nature – no added dosage. Quite dry. Larmandier-Bernier is a great Champagne. If you find a bottle of Champagne David Leclapart, I recommend you try it! Fantastic!’
I have not tasted the Malvasia from Despina! Is there residual sugar?? The Malvasia (Secco) I have on my wine list is the one from Camillo Donati – fantastic!
-ciao!
Ciao!
I think I can get drappier in Perugia. I’ll try to get a bottle and open on a special day, which can be any day since I don’t open champagnes that often. David Leclapart looks nice but a bit above budget but will be on the lookout for it.
There is a bit residual sugar, tracce/trails as he says, but overall quite dry though not as dry as the Donati. I like that one but won’t polish off a whole bottle. What do you serve that with? Something a bit oily? Pork?
I want a bottle of the Cret. Is it ‘old ‘ style? I used to like ‘the gang’ but most of them make quite dull wines at the moment. Did you ever drink Peyra? I think it doesn’t exist anymore but great stuff. Are you going to Italy btw?
Fantastic posting, I bookmarked your blog so I can visit again in the future, Thanks
