• Pineau des Charentes
  
  When I was thinking about writing this post I asked Bert of Wine Terroirs for his thoughts about Pineau des Charentes, and this is what he said: I'm not speaking for the whole of France but I think it's quite objective to say that Pineau des Charentes is quite out of fashion. But I think Bert speaks for the French people as a whole, so there you have it - Pineau is not terribly popular among the younger set in France nowadays. Imagine a night out on the town, walking into a hip club, a couple of lovely gents or ladies at the bar, whatever your preference. It's not too loud and

• Southwest France Revisited
  
  But after discovering this little lovely from Domaine des Cassagnoles for $10, I had to keep going, to taste more white wine from Southwest France. Definitely not trying to steal Joe's thunder here, not that I could anyway. I like everything about these Southwestern whites so far.

• Jamesport Vineyards Cabernet Franc 2005
  
  This Cabernet Franc was part of the goodie bag I received upon leaving the Long Island Wine Challenge last week.

Enjoyed this at home paired with a pasta with red sauce. ...Tags:

• Experiments in the Vegetarian Kitchen with Cabernet Franc from Loire
  
  Commonly neglected like the spinach on a child’s plate, Cabernet Franc is often accused of being too green, too herbaceous, or too vegetal—traits that are often the result of underripe grapes.  Tags: Recipes & Pairings Cabernet Franc Loire Valley Marc Ollivier Vegetarian Recipes Wine Pairin But some, myself included, embrace this greenness as a natural expression of the grape itself, and not necessarily always a negative result of nurture—or [...] ...Tags:

• France So Far
  
  On plane, the three vials of CRB pineau d'aunis went down with the ambien. Arrival in Beaune, Russell fetched me at the train. The Queen Before the guests arrived, Becky and I did some dueling computering, I, sipping at something like a Gagnard C-M. Dinner was had with some honeymooners, cucumber soup and some vegetable thing in my honor while they snaffed down the lamb.

The other good news is that I had the wine-trip of my life with Peter and Tista over the past few days in Burgundy. Days full of some of the most incredible wines

• Cassagnoles Cuvée Gros Manseng Reserve
  
  Early on this past summer I found a great wine from the Côte de Gascogne in the southwest of France. for the next period of time, it's nice to know that there is a region of France making great wines at daily drinking price The fact that is cost $9 a bottle before case discount was gravy, because if you tasted this wine blind along with other summery whites and a plate of seafood, this one would do well in your scoring - no doubt. This area of the southwest gets more props for Armagnac, the wonderful grape-based liquor (that offers a better value than you'll find in Cognac) than it
