Jurancon is wine that i've recently rediscovered. In fact I had forgotten that I had it specifically with a cheese pairing of Comte and Crottin, by none other than the "Ripper" himself, Eric Ripert. Sometimes things are so good you lose your memory :)

It's slowly creeping up on Sauternes as one of my favorite dessert wines. read more
