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. His 2006 Touraine Blanc Brin de Chèvre Menu Pineau smelled of citrus oils, smoke, and shoe polish, and tasted great! If you're into Loire whites, this is one to try. But of course I missed some great stuff. | | | | | | | | |

BROOKLYN GUY LOVES WINE | TUESDAY, OCTOBER 30, 2007 By the Glass
went with a Gamay from the Loire Valley, a glass of 2006 O. Lemasson Touraine Le P'tit Rouquin ($14 or so, available at stores that carry Dressner wines). 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 | WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 17, 2007 Sauvignon Blanc - a Mini Blind Tasting
couple of general thoughts: the Loire wines kind of blew the others away. 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. The tasting gang hasn't been together for a while now - April was the last time we really did our thing. MORE >> -
BROOKLYN GUY LOVES WINE | TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 2006  Some Thanksgiving Wines
Whites - You can be confident that the 2005 Clos Roche Blanc Touraine Sauvignon , $12 will be a tasty and fruity Loire Sauvignon Blanc. If your wine shop has it, I recommend the Kabinett Gewurztraminer from either 2004 or 2005. Who am I to buck the trend? try to stay hip and to be relevant, but what are you gonna do? MORE >> -
BROOKLYN GUY LOVES WINE | MONDAY, JULY 2, 2007  The Beaujolais Challenge - Beaujolais
If you are really into wine from the Loire Valley you know that Gamay appears in some Touraine wines. 2005 in Burgundy is the mother of all vintages, apparently, and Beaujolais is part of the Burgundy region, so the wines, even those from the "lowly" Beaujolais appellation should be high quality. Okay, that's it. MORE >>
