L'Arpent Rouge is made from Pineau D'Aunis , an old and not much used anymore grape that a few Loire Valley producers like Clos Roche Blanche and Belliviere are reviving. Why, drink wine, of course. | | | | | | |
| BROOKLYN GUY LOVES WINE NOVEMBER 26, 2008 Day Before Thanksgiving Tidbits I'll be pouring 2005 Boxler Sylvaner and 2007 Clos Roche Blanche Touraine Gamay at my Thanksgiving dinner this year. All good bloggers are supposed to tell you about the wines they will open for Thanksgiving. First of all Did you know that wine can be corked even if it is sealed with something other than cork? Economic crisis indeed. | BROOKLYN GUY LOVES WINE MARCH 27, 2007 Notes From the Dressner Real Wine Attack Tasting If you like Loire wines, you're not going to do better than this. 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? 005 Chidaine Montlouis sur Loire Clos Habert , $26 - Yum! Impossible in this venue. | BROOKLYN GUY LOVES WINE APRIL 16, 2008 Polaner Spring Portfolio Tasting, 2008 My first time tasting a wine of 100% Menu Pineau, one of those old Loire grapes that has mostly faded from memory. If you're into Loire whites, this is one to try. The 2005 Domaine de Roally Viré Clessé has an intoxicating nose that screams "pure Chardonnay!" But of course I missed some great stuff. Pinon's wines. Not with M. | BROOKLYN GUY LOVES WINE APRIL 14, 2007 Okay, Now for My Case So for all of you who want to poke your toe in the waters of the Loire, here is my case. Not a case from all over the world like Lyle's and Joy's, but Brooklynguy's case of Loire wine, a case that I believe will make anyone who likes wine a Loire lover. Most are from 2005, a wonderful vintage. That's pretty intense. | | | | | | | |

went with a Gamay from the Loire Valley, a glass of 2006 O. 2005 Chidaine Montlouis-sur- Loire Les Tuffeaux (about $23, Dressner stuff again, might be sold out at this point but there are other Chidaine wines on the shelf - try one).

BROOKLYN GUY LOVES WINE | MONDAY, JULY 2, 2007  The Beaujolais Challenge - Beaujolais
couple of tidbits before we get into our real business, just to make sure that we're all on the same page: Gamay is the grape used to make red wine in 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. Don't worry, you haven't missed anything. MORE >>
