Gourmets of Wine > Bulgarian Wine Tasting

I was amazed at the different faces it could show, from taut, almost shrill Chablis, tasting of minerals and stone fruit, to opulent, mouth-filling Montrachets whose richness and layers of flavor almost overwhelmed my palate.

Unable to compete in the face of cheap (and heavily subsidised) EU imports, Gallagher is predicting some kind of EU-driven Systematisation. "The only difference," he explains, "would be that instead of being driven out of the countryside and into tower-blocks, people would be able to go and pick strawberries in Spain."
