Is it even physically possible for Yellowtail Chardonnay to be corked? There was a second bottle present, so we tasted that one too. | | | | | |
| BROOKLYN GUY LOVES WINE MARCH 27, 2007 Notes From the Dressner Real Wine Attack Tasting 2005 Eric Texier Vins de Pays O Pale , $16 - This is a sweet wine made entirely from Viognier grapes. 2005 Marechal Pommard La Chaniere , $50 - who would have thunk it? 2005 Desvignes Morgon Javernieres , $21 - Cru Beaujolais from Desvignes, always good. My 2's 2005 Michel Tete Julienas , $18 - barnyard city. Just yummy. | BROOKLYN GUY LOVES WINE APRIL 16, 2008 Polaner Spring Portfolio Tasting, 2008 His 2006 Touraine Blanc Brin de Chèvre Menu Pineau smelled of citrus oils, smoke, and shoe polish, and tasted great! And the 06 Touraine Blanc Buisson Pouilleux Sauvignon Vielle Vignes smelled like the Menu Pineau, but tasted like Sauvignon Blanc, in a way. But of course I missed some great stuff. Pinon's wines. Did I just say that? | BROOKLYN GUY LOVES WINE MAY 5, 2008 Recession Wines - Wines Under $15 2006 Jardin de la Fruitiere, $10, VdP Loire Atlantique, JD Headrick Selections (50-50 Chardonnay and Melon de Bourgogne). 2005 Kuentz-Bas Alsace Blanc, $12, Kermit Lynch Imports (Blend of, in order, Sylvaner, Riesling and Pinot Blanc, Muscat). Reds: 2005 Chateau la Rame, $13, Rosenthal Imports (Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot). | BROOKLYN GUY LOVES WINE OCTOBER 17, 2007 Sauvignon Blanc - a Mini Blind Tasting Happily for consumers, there are many producers making great wine in Touraine, Cheverny and other parts of the Loire, many of the wines at this price. This one, like all Cheverny, is actually a blend, with about 10% Chardonnay in the mix. That's a fun thing to do on a summer evening though, so no complaints. Another time. | | | | | | | |

BROOKLYN GUY LOVES WINE | MONDAY, JULY 2, 2007  The Beaujolais Challenge - Beaujolais
Yes, there is some white wine ( Chardonnay) made in Beaujolais, but almost 99% of production is red wine, and it's all about Gamay. If you are really into wine from the Loire Valley you know that Gamay appears in some Touraine wines. First time checking out the Beaujolais Challenge? Don't worry, you haven't missed anything.
