Een unieke Champagne deze Philipponnat Royale Réserve Non Dose, want er wordt geen suiker aan de Champagne toegevoegd waardoor hij fris droog is en een ongekend hoog aantal mineralen heeft in de smaak. Maar laten we beginnen bij de rijke geschiedenis van Champagne Philipponnat. De familie kent een lange ervaring op het gebied van het maken van de mooiste wijnen. Al sinds het jaar 1522 is de familie actief in de wijnbouw maar pas sinds 1910 in de Champagne streek. Het waren de heren Auguste en Pierre Philipponnat die een achttiende eeuwse kelder kochten en daar hun favoriete Champagne gingen maken. Het wijnhuis en de wijnkelders liggen in de plaats Mareuil-sur-Ay, vijf kilometer ten oosten van Epernay en worden omringt door de mooiste wijngaarden. In totaal heeft Philipponnat zeventien hectare eigen wijngaarden die allemaal zijn bestempeld als Grand Cru. De rest van de druiven worden aangekocht bij wijn boeren waarmee de familie al tientallen jaren zaken doet. Dit is erg belangrijk vind de familie Philipponnat, want alleen samen kun je het beste resultaat halen.Geen toevoeging van suiker aan deze Philipponnat Champagne
Het idee om een Non Dose oftewel geen suiker toe te voegen aan een Champagne was er al lang. Echter moet daar de oogst meer dan goed voor zijn, er werd gekeken door de familie Philipponnat naar de geschikte wijngaarden. Na een lange studie was men overtuigd de juiste verhoudingen te hebben bereikt en men startte met deze nieuwe Champagne. Het bleek een groot succes en deze Royale Réserve Non Dose wordt ook wel de Champagne genoemd om af te vallen. Dit moeten we natuurlijk niet letterlijk nemen maar door geen toevoeging van extra suiker zit er wel een kern van waarheid in. Ook deze Royale Réserve Non Dose is gebaseerd op de Pinot Noir druif zoals bij alle Champagnes van Philipponnat. De druif heeft ook de boventoon in deze variant met daarbij wat Chardonnay en Meunier. Alle druiven groeien op in de beste omstandigheden en worden geheel met de hand geoogst. Na de persing en het samenstellen van de blend rijpt deze Champagne voor minimaal twee a drie jaar in de kelders van Philipponnat. Hij ontwikkeld pure verfijning en een hele zachte mousse.Droog en verfijnd deze Philipponnat Royale Réserve Non Dose
Een zero dosage Champagne is niet makkelijk om te maken maar het resultaat is geweldig! Je proeft de verfijning en souplesse van de druiven. Maar laat dat maar aan de wijnmakers over van Philipponnat, een unieke Champagne waarin je alle zuiverheid van de trossen proeft. Het begint bij het open maken van de fles want dan ruiken we de mooie en verfijnde geuren van citrus fruit, brioche brood en wat venkel zaad. Bij het inschenken zien we een prachtige heldere kleur met een groene schittering. De fijne belletjes trekken rustig naar het oppervlak en geven onze zintuigen alle aandacht. Met onze neus boven het glas ruiken wij indrukken van citrus fruit, toast, noten en wat grapefruit. De smaak is tintelend, mooie verfijnde tannines geven de tong een fijn gevoel. Rijpe en frisse smaken van citrus fruit, groene appel en wat groene kruiden. In de afdronk mineralen en wat verse citroenen.Shipping Notes

many feelings
Format: Kindle
I didn’t know what this book was about when I first started reading.. one thing I felt at the beginning was…amazement? I love writing letters, something I don’t do often, I recently bought this beautiful fountain pen, I wanted to start small, writing greeting cards to family and friends, birthday cards, thank yous, etc. what I didn’t expect is the emotional toll this book had on me, and other members of my family who read the book for our book club. The subject matters, death of a child, husband dying of cancer, the significance of May 29th, all impacted our family, and so, as I read this book, I had to put it down several times because I had to cry, compose myself, think of regrets I have, and remember.
How amazing it is that Sybil was able to write all about the death of her child to her dead child. I always say that writing it down on paper releases your burden in your head…it is true, I think writing letters, even the ones she didn’t send helped her quiet her head, at least for a while. I truly love this book. I have been borrowing books from Libby to read for our book club for a very long time, there have been books that I fell in love with, and always thought if I want to read them again I’ll just borrow them again, this book is the first one that I want to own physically to put on my shelf and know that I have it to read over and over again when I want to reflect and then quiet my head. ( This is the longest review I’ve written about a book I’ve read, I hope it makes sense).

Successful Epistolary Novel
Format: Kindle
When we first meet Sybil Van Antwerp, age 73, she is retired from law and spends a lot of time writing letters and emails. She also reads a lot and is interested in what her correspondents are reading. She has children and grandchildren, but she lives alone in Annapolis, Maryland, and doesn’t see her family very often. During the course of reading her correspondence, we very gradually learn about Sybil—her history and her present troubles. She is a complicated character and several times in reading The Correspondent I paused to ask myself what I thought of Sybil—did I like her? What about her kept me from the immediate response a reader usually has about the main character of a book? Even at the end of the book, I am still ambivalent about Sybil, but I certainly understand her much better.
Sybil, herself, and the book have so many layers. There is true depth to the story. My book club took deep dives into it over a period of three weeks, and I don’t think we have sampled all the topics represented in this book. It is a wonderful novel for stimulating meaningful discussion.
Neurodivergence is not called out or named, but it comes to mind in thinking about Harry, a child who is the son of a judge, a former colleague of Sybil. The boy doesn’t quite fit in socially with his peers, but he is brilliant. Sybil makes the perfect “pen pal” for Harry because they have some of the same characteristics. As a child she was punished for “insolence and rudeness,” but her parents were just trying to mold her into a polite young lady as expected by society. She was blunt and didn’t have many friends.
There are so many other issues worthy of discussion, but they would most certainly bring up spoilers. I won’t do that to you. Readers should have the opportunity to see the story gradually emerge from the letters, including a continuing one that the reader doesn’t know to whom Sybil is writing. Sybil sets the word “stone” for secrets, and there are stones in this book making it a puzzle, a mystery of sorts—for the reader.
As a reviewer, I tend to go quickly from one book to the next as soon as I have composed and published my thoughts. Characters in various books can even blend together. This is not the case with The Correspondent. The characters in this book, especially Sybil, have stayed with me and come to mind frequently as I go through my day. Virginia Evans has created a fictional world with impact. Just as Sybil needed time (years in her case) to process the events of her life, the reader will need time to process them and their effects on Sybil as well.

exceptional, very highly recommended character-driven literary family drama
Format: Kindle
Whistler by Ann Patchett is an exceptional, very highly recommended character-driven literary family drama which will definitely be one of the best books I've read this year. In Whistler Patchett has given us a beautifully written, eloquent, insightful and sensitive story encompassing the complexity of families, connections, and relationships over time. I love everything about this book.
As they were visiting the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Daphne Fuller's retired husband Jonathan notices an older man following them and they discover he is Eddie Triplett, Daphne's former stepfather. She hasn't seen him for 44 years but immediately remembers her love for him and the bond they had for a couple years. The two also shared a traumatic experience when she was nine and they were in a car accident. Immediately after this Daphne's mother divorced Eddie and he disappeared from her life. After this chance meeting and reconnection, Daphne immediately and understandably needs to see and tell her younger sister, Leda, about it.
The sisters had a complicated childhood that Daphne never felt was very happy. Daphne and Leda's biological father, Buddy Zabriskie, was a deep-sea fisherman and left the family early, although the girls had a relationship with him. Then their mother married Eddie and both girls loved him for the brief time he was in their lives. Their third and final stepfather, Lucas Ekker, still lives with her mother in Massachusetts and they had two sons. The two sisters were done with stepfathers at this point.
As the narrative unfolds, Daphne and Eddie continue to meet and restore their relationship as father and daughter, but now as adults. While following the present day events, Interstitial chapters jump back in time when Eddie was her stepfather and cover the events from when they were in the car accident. It is during these interludes back in time that were learn the story of Whistler and also see the deep connection between Eddie and Daphne. Events in both the past and present show how complicated interpersonal relationships are, how little we truly understand of our past, and, ultimately, how fragile life can be.
Because this is a character-driven story, all the characters are portrayed as realistic, fully realized individuals with strengths and weaknesses. The narrative examines relationships, choices made in both the past and present and how many seemingly small and inconsequential moments can follow us our whole lives. It also gently shows how being recognized and understood by another person, even for a short period of time, can change your life and theirs.
Whistler by Ann Patchett is a wonderful choice for everyone who enjoys thoughtful, sensitive, character-driven literary novels. Thanks to HarperCollins for providing me with an advance reader's copy via Edelweiss. My review is voluntary and expresses my honest opinion.
