VINO OCTOBER 6, 2009 Natural wines, premox, chenin blanc, 07 Port and Rhone – John Gilman If one is a fan of wines of terroir, how could it not be a positive step to see a place like Burgundy, which a generation ago was largely decimated by chemical products being used on the soils, now an increasingly healthy, vibrant and bucolic garden of vineyards? asked him six questions; he replied with over 10,000 words! think not. | ALICE FEIRING SEPTEMBER 28, 2008 Alice Feiring - In Vino Veritas On my second to last day in Bordeaux, on my last visit of that day, I tasted at Chateau Le Puy a Cotes de Francs, on the same rock plateau as St. In fact it was one I had earlier on a visit to Chateau Le Puy, the 1989.

| SLAKED MAY 13, 2009 1989 Ridge Vineyards Monte Bello If it weren't for Monte Bello, I wouldn't believe in that greatest of vinous marketing stunts, the theory of terroir. Perhaps if I drank La Tache often enough I would understand terroir differently. Mouton Rothschild) can have terroir in the same sense a 15 acre vineyard can (e.g. La Tache). It's pure marketing. | | BROOKLYN GUY LOVES WINE OCTOBER 28, 2008 Dressner Portfolio Tasting Notes went for the Bubbles, the Beaujolais, the Cab Franc, and the Chenin Blanc. His wines are made in the classic style, focusing on purity, grace, and expression of terroir (read - not overly extracted and dark). The 1990 was gone, but the 1989 was smooth and well balanced, and seemed quite youthful, nothing secondary about it. | |
