It’s a gorgeous day outside, so I am on the back deck editing the podcast episode with Thomas, the winemaker at Lingua Franca (@linguafrancawines), dropping on Thursday. I first met Thomas, @tomsavre, at a Champagne Night @decanterberrytales hosted in January 2020. What an incredible night filled with exceptional Champagne and Sparkling! Over the last four years, I have enjoyed following Thomas’s path. His stellar winemaking prowess has made itself known with a focus on Chardonnay. When I grabbed this bottle, I wasn’t paying attention. In my head, I thought it was a Chardonnay, and I thought this would be a tremendous blind wine to open for the interview. When I popped the cork and saw it was a Pinot, I debated grabbing another bottle, but I didn’t have enough time to figure out what to open. Even though Thomas was slightly disappointed, the 2010 Evening Land (@elvwines) Chambolle Musigny Pinot Noir showed wonderfully. Are you curious about what Thomas thought of this wine?
