Comments on: The $12 natural gamay showdown: Lapierre vs Puzelat http://www.drvino.com/2010/09/22/natural-wine-gamay-lapierre-puzelat/ wine talk that goes down easy Mon, 20 May 2013 15:24:09 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: thefrankreport http://www.drvino.com/2010/09/22/natural-wine-gamay-lapierre-puzelat/#comment-313529 thefrankreport Fri, 08 Oct 2010 04:11:33 +0000 http://www.drvino.com/?p=7609#comment-313529 haven’t tried the Lapierre, however I did have the Puzelat wine a few nights ago and thought it a benchmark example of touraine gamay. also had the 2009 “telquel” and while it was also tasty, rather pay the small premium for the La Butte.

Oh, and while you lucky guys in the states get to pay US$12 for the pleasure of this wine, in Australia the RRP is around A$30. This thanks to our outrageous wine taxes which are 41.9% on Australian and NZ wine, plus another 5% approx for other countries

Unfortunately, the wines are likely made in small quantities, so they might not be at your corner store. Try searching on the internet with a site like wine-searcher.com, for example. And I know Astor (where I bought them) ships to many states (beware of excessive heat in shipment).

Cheers,

Any advice on a wine locating directory (or any other resource) for people outside the large metropolitan areas?
