Lost In Francelation - Wine tasting in the Loire valley

How do you say ‘Cheers’ in French? This is just one of my several questions as I drink my way (!) through the Loire, enjoying some of France’s finest vintages…
Another urgent question - how to possibly describe the taste of these very special wines?? I’ll have to depend on my friends at the chateau, during our little degustation (wine tasting). And of course, my imagination comes in handy too, with these original ways to describe wine:

White flowers
Pear
Force
Power
‘Long in the mouth’ (?)
Citrusy
Delicious
a little Flinty
…and very Refreshing!

‘Tchin’!

    Hi; I’m a New Yorker living in Bordeaux and making wine with my French wife. BRAVO for a wonderful job; the gal (name?) is a natural, a pro, and Very Charming. I wish you the best of luck. If you want to come see us on Bordeaux’s right bank, let me know! We’re on YouTube, just enter the words: Chateau La Gatte. Joyeux Noël!!

    Awsome video! I just got back from the Loire, and i have to say its amazing how much you can learn from wine in just a few days. Just about everyone who is selling wine is excited to tell you all about how they produced their wine.
