ALICE FEIRING MARCH 4, 2008 Alice Feiring - In Vino Veritas Added Tannin Gives Red Wine a Bad Name? February 23, 2008. This is just my little theory that I have utterly no basis for. It is in the same category as my belief that Ximanavro is genetically related to Sagrantino, I'm just skating on | | WINE TASTING GUY MARCH 4, 2008 Wine Bar - do wine glasses (AKA stemware) matter? I went to a wine bar last night and there were a few things that disturbed me about this place. The first, which I don't want to get too deeply into is how they handled a "taste". Before purchasing a bottle I like to taste what I am considering buying. As such, they have an open bottle of everything on the menu. Great right? Bad business. | | | | | | | | |

SLAKED | SUNDAY, MARCH 2, 2008 2005 Ridge Vineyards Carmichael Zinfandel *
Light ruby. Extraordinarily pinot-esque. Mellow ripe cranberry, red jolly ranchers and light spices with a very mineral midpalate. This is nicely balanced but it's still too early to show real tannic structure. Apparently, these aromas can be indicative of something called mercaptan , which is generally considered a fault in wine. liked this. MORE >> -
BROOKLYN GUY LOVES WINE | FRIDAY, MARCH 7, 2008  Friday Night Bubbles
NV Egly-Ouriet Brut "Les Vignes de Vrigny ," $46, Michael Skurnik Wines. This wine is unusual in that it is 100% Pinot Meunier, a grape that is more often part of the blend in Champagne and only very rarely appears on its own. I've been meaning to try this wine for a while now. It now costs about $56, which puts it into splurge territory for me. MORE >> -
VIGNA UVA VINO | FRIDAY, MARCH 7, 2008 Dolcetto d'Alba De Forville 2006 Piedmont Italy
Italian wine • Sat at the bar at Market Table in the village on Carmine street and Bedford. This Dolcetto d'Alba, has aromas of cherries & sour fruit, medium weight with dark ruby color. It has a palate of chocolate, spices, herbs and medium tannins, with a bitter finish. It wasn't one of my favorites, a little too tight and on the sour side. MORE >> -
