Posts help me to review a wine region that I need to know about (well, yes, I do need to know about just about every major wine region in the world for the test) and I had an immediate need, how to talk about these wines to inquisitive customers. Ha! At the same time, this is the year of Unit 3 for me, the Wines of the World for the WSET Diploma if I can figure out how to pay for it. One of my New Year’s resolutions was to make posts shorter and more frequent. The wines are really fresh, crisp and delicious! Songs from the 70’s and 80’s play in the background at the store and when I hear the refrain from Kool and the Gang, “ She’s fresh, fresh, exciting” I think of Sancerre. ![]() Well, Sancerre wines are alive and well in Chicago today in 2021 in the time of Covid. ![]() Studying for the WSETDip, their course materials cite Sancerre as being fashionable in the 60’s and onwards. I looked for recaps on the web to help me learn more about the wines and I had a hard time finding a good summary, so I decided to write a post. Faced with a shelf of 20 or so Sancerre labels at the wine store in the Loire section, I was not sure how to differentiate one wine from another. I have been considering this post on Sancerre for some time, but working long retail hours got in the way. We are well into springtime in Chicago, cold, damp, dark days and then sunny, warm, breezy days like today and then repeat. The photo above, of the beautiful hamlet of Chavignol, in Sancerre, is taken from the Domaine Famille Bourgeois facebook page.
