| | | WHY WINE BLOG JUNE 28, 2009  A Day in the Finger Lakes I am just sitting back enjoying one of the many New York Finger Lakes wines I brought home from last weeks tour. The first was a must do. | ALICE FEIRING JULY 2, 2009 Natural Wines: Aint for Everyone DBGB, the new (regrettably designed--post-industrial, cold, though with bar stools that push intimacy as they sit two) Daniel Boulud 'gastropub' around the corner from me, has a wine list selected and tuned by Colin Alveras. Now, for some reason, he's decided French and natural is the way to go. was finishing up my own 2007 Luneau Papin ($7!) | | | | | | | |

BROOKLYN GUY LOVES WINE | TUESDAY, JUNE 30, 2009 By the Glass - Top Quality Muscadet Edition
I tend to think of Muscadet as a winter white wine, a wine to drink on a cold January night with a plate of raw oysters. bet I'm not alone in this - Muscadet and oysters are a classic and wonderful pairing. Perhaps even the seafood stereotype entirely. It's not just any Muscadet that I'm talking about, though. Recently re-released by Dressner. MORE >> -
DR. VINO | THURSDAY, JULY 2, 2009 Gallup: “On Mars, They Drink Beer; on Venus, Wine”

SLAKED | WEDNESDAY, JULY 1, 2009 2005 Bodega Sottano JUDAS *
On my way to pick up some Mosel Saar Ruwer wines the other night I happened upon this tasting of Argentinian wines, featuring not unsurprisingly four malbecs, one cabernet sauvignon, and one blend.

ALICE FEIRING | WEDNESDAY, JULY 1, 2009 Morgon de Provence
Who knew? So last night I was having a glass of Krug at Freeman's, you know, that pretty sexy restaurant down an alley on the Lower East Side? They are selling Krug BTG at $30, and my friend I was meeting said, what the hell. We ordered two glasses. The news is that the champagne is greatly diminished. Totally unspectacular. Gone was the richness. MORE >>
