They grow and make good Cabernet Franc. very tasty bottle of Loire Cab Franc from a good producer can cost about $15. | | | | | |
| BROOKLYN GUY LOVES WINE SEPTEMBER 27, 2006 Some New York Wines We emerged from our tasting there with a few bottles of their 2002 Cabernet Franc Reserve and a 375 ml of a 2004 zippy desert wine made from late harvest chardonnay called Allegra. The 2000 Estate Selection Merlot is an excellent Bordeaux-styled wine, with plummy and earthy aromas, a light texture, and lots of dark fruit on the palate. | BROOKLYN GUY LOVES WINE OCTOBER 19, 2006 Wines of Catherine and Pierre Breton As is common in New York, a combination of artists and other intrepid souls in about 2000 began moving to Red Hook for the low rents. C&P Breton make Bourgueil ( boor-geye) wine, beloved in France as everyday drinking wine, and largely unknown here. These wines are made soley from cabernet franc. | | |
