Snatching defeat....

.....from the jaws of victory,  in case you are unfamiliar with the expression.

500 available,  275 required.

VDP is, as a French chum has just pointed out, differs from VdP. Sigh. -20 points.

Noble One,  despite being an Aussie Semillon (what do you call an Australian with a Semillon?), does not come from the Hunter Valley,  but Riverina, ffs. How? -50, probably.

Work in a Medoc vineyard?  Not strong. -50?

What makes Sauvignon Blanc popular with consumers and producers?  Hmm. -30 at best.

Amarone and friends could net 70, so call that -30 as well

That's -180. I need 95 points from 4 paragraphs (max 20 each) and the half of Q1, which was all Entre-Duex-Mers (max 50).

Say -20 on the Bordeaux. Can only afford to drop 25 on the paragraphs.

Three 16s and one 17 needed.

Big Sigh. Just hope they let me do it again.
