Notes on a Loire trip from Oswaldo Costa

Coulée de Serrant: grapes in late September

Some fine notes here on The Wine Lovers Forum on a recent trip to the Loire in mid-October by Oswaldo Costa. Includes visits to René Mosse, Richard Leroy, Jo Pithon and Coulée de Serrant – very sorry to hear that Nicolas Joly apparently suffered a slight stroke recently and trust that he will soon be fully recovered.*   

Read the notes here. My thanks to Albertan Bob for informing me about this post.

Nicolas Joly


* Very pleased to hear from Nicolas that it was nothing serious:

'pas de probleme Jim , c'etait juste une petite protestation de l'organisme devant les avions, aeroport, et hotels plein de giga hertz par le WIFI . 
 
Il y a des tissus et des vetements qui protegent  totalement de ces frequences qui ne conviennent pas du tout a l'homme ( Steiner l'avait deja prevu  au debut du 2O eme siecle ...comme la vache folle du reste) je vais m'equiper !!!
Merci de ton mail
Nicolas'

Yes Jim,


Physical mishaps are a problem, even to the most illustrious amongst us! Wish him a prompt recovery, and “ad integrum”.

Here, not far from Montpellier, it is rather Nostradamus than R.S. people tend to worship.
And with as many good reasons!
In his writings, I found a puzzling note which could translate, roughly, as: “ In the Fall of some year finishing by the digits 1 0, waves will strike the Righteous!” Now, the message is clear.

I will needless to say keep you all updated on future posts on WLDG. Oswaldo is a true Loire-head!!
