BROOKLYN GUY LOVES WINE APRIL 9, 2007  Some Sparklers I have a bad habit with Champagne. rarely buy it because it's expensive and because I don't really know much about it. Special occasion? The Champagne? | BROOKLYN GUY LOVES WINE APRIL 23, 2007 Flatbush Farm BrooklynLady and I have never been big on the restaurant scene. Yeah, we enjoy a good meal out as much as anyone, but we are often frustrated by "good" restaurants that charge an arm and a leg for nothing special food. But what about during the week when the 'rents come by to see their grand daughter? Leave us alone, for goodness sakes! Vegetarian? | BROOKLYN GUY LOVES WINE APRIL 18, 2007 Did You See That (Part 2)? Here are a couple of posts from the past month or so that really stand out for me. Take a peek and see if you read them already, if not - worth your perusal. Rusty Gaffney, the Prince of Pinot , writes and publishes a whole newsletter every week! His newsletter is called Pinot File and it is completely and endearingly devoted to Pinot Noir. Prince? | BROOKLYN GUY LOVES WINE APRIL 29, 2007 Wine with the In-Laws, San Diego Style I'm lucky because my father in-law likes wine and keeps some good bottles in the house. That means that no matter what else is happening during a visit, there will always be at least that one thing to look forward to - some interesting wine in the evening. was impressed with the two wine stores I went into. 500 bottles of wine in the bins! | | | | | | | |

BROOKLYN GUY LOVES WINE | WEDNESDAY, APRIL 4, 2007  Seafood Soup with Fregola
I am so psyched that the fish people are back at the Grand Army Plaza farmer's market. Their fish is always delicious, the freshest and must flavorful I can get. When I bought fish at the regular store in February, one of their vacation months, it really hammered home what I already knew - fresh fish, preferably locally caught, is the best. MORE >> -
BROOKLYN GUY LOVES WINE | SATURDAY, APRIL 14, 2007 Okay, Now for My Case
I bet all of you read Eric Asimov's column on Wednesday where he talks about learning about wine at home by having your local wine salesperson pick out a case, taste through it, etc. There are as of this moment, 96 comments on the companion piece in his blog.

BROOKLYN GUY LOVES WINE | TUESDAY, APRIL 17, 2007  Roundup - Recent Sips
Its been a really good wine drinking month. I've tasted a few wines that have been on my "wish list" for a while, others that I've been meaning to try and finally found a good excuse to open, and new releases of yet other wines that I taste each year. 2001 Domaine Rollin Pernand-Vergelesses , $30 (375ml).

BROOKLYN GUY LOVES WINE | MONDAY, APRIL 30, 2007 A Good Value-Priced Pinot
The quest continues for good value-priced Pinot Noir. This wine is probably the best example yet that I have found of a value-priced Pinot that comes through with high grades fro quality. It is a lovely wine, no doubt about it. lighter style though, so those of you looking for that value bottle of brawny Pinot, this is not the wine for you. MORE >> -
BROOKLYN GUY LOVES WINE | TUESDAY, APRIL 24, 2007 2004 Lafouge Auxey-Duresses 1er Cru Les Duresses
The quest continues - to identify and share high quality value-priced Pinot. will admit that I have a serious soft spot for Domaine Jean et Gilles Lafouge, as BrooklynLady and I had such a wonderful visit during our Burgundy trip last November. Soft spot or no, they make very good wine, sometimes excellent wine, and always at reasonable prices. MORE >>
