Following on from my earlier post<\/a>, looking at the most popular wines on my Instagram feed in 2017, here’s the next batch of wines. We begin with the Jura, and a hot favourite is Ganevat.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I begin with this Vines de Mon Pere, drunk with Mr Wregg. Only in magnum. Amazing.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This is a red – Plousard – and it was drunk at Scotch Bar in Blenheim in June.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Florine: enjoyed with chums at Brilliant Corners.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And more mainstream, but also compelling, the Pelican Trois Cepages at 10 Cases.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Burgundy: lots of treats this year. This was shared with Greg Sherwood and others.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And this was drunk in Mornington Peninsula at a dinner.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Dirk Niepoort shared a taste of this mature Laroche in Germany in March, and it was just lovely.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Gotta love Roulot, the new Coche. Such good wines.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This lived up to its elevated reputation. Drunk at the IPNC. Remarkable stuff.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Raveneau! 2014: a great vintage, and drunk far too young at a dinner in Mendoza.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I had this at Norm’s in early November. Very tight and youthful, but lovely purity.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Chunky and dense, but I can’t remember where I was when I had this.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Had this 2009 Roulot at Iona, out among the vines with Andrew and Werner.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

New Zealand made a few appearances. This Albarino put in a good showing, off the list at a restaurant in Wellington.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Seresin’s Chardonnay proved popular, too.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Polished but serious, I commented on this delicious Le Sol.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Burn Cottage Pinot 2012 was superb, drunk with Brian and Marion and their winemaker Kosie in Elgin.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Not an expensive wine: Te Awa’s Gisborne Albarino. Popular because of the variety, I think, which is settling in well into New Zealand.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Australia made just three appearances. I tried this Timo Meyer in Japan. It is superb.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And a couple of Ochota Barrels wines. Taras and Amber are making beautiful wines.<\/p>\n
