Results of Touraine Cult Wine Contest There was spirited discussion and voting at the Chambers Street Wines tasting on Saturday to determine the Cult Touraine Wine of the Year. The category was expanded by the judges at the last minute to include the Clos Roche Blanche Touraine Sauvignon Blanc 2003 and the Thierry Puzelat Sauvignon Blanc 2003. One word of caution: the wines were just shipped to America and only recently bottled. It will be interesting to see how the wines develop. The results: 54 ballots were recorded: Touraine Sauvignon Blanc 15 for Clos Roche Blanche 21 for Thierry Puzelat 18 considered the two wines of equal quality Touraine Gamay 18 for Clos Roche Blanche 35 for Thierry Puzelat One write-in for Henri Marionnet 2 ballots were eliminated due to illegible markings. One attendee attempted to vote twice and both of his ballots were eliminated. We'd like to thank everyone for participating in this scientific and spirited event. |
