But he knows enough about wine so that his search was very specifically directed, and he found something from the Loire Valley that should be fantastic - I'll let you know how it goes in a few weeks. | | | | | |
| WINE TASTING GUY APRIL 30, 2008 Polaner tasting standouts began in a French table area and tried some Sancerres (made from Sauvignon Blanc), some white Burgundys (made from Chardonnay) and some white blends. Hubery Lamy of Burgundy presented 3 wines. Moving to the Rhone valley in France I tried some wines from Eric Texier. wine I will definitely keep an eye out for in the future. | BROOKLYN GUY LOVES WINE DECEMBER 3, 2008 By the Glass - 2005 Muscadet Edition 2005 was the vintage of the century in Bordeaux, the vintage of the millennium in Burgundy, the finest post-World War II vintage in the Rhône, and the greatest vintage in recent memory in the Loire. And there is better balance and definition on day two. Isn't it tempting to check in on your 2005's? That they don't age as well? | BROOKLYN GUY LOVES WINE NOVEMBER 26, 2008 Day Before Thanksgiving Tidbits Here are two reds that I want to wholeheartedly and most definitely recommend to you. All good bloggers are supposed to tell you about the wines they will open for Thanksgiving. don't think my wines are all that interesting, so instead I'll share a few random tidbits that might buttress your pre-Thanksgiving mood. It, oddly, was also corked. | BROOKLYN GUY LOVES WINE JANUARY 8, 2007 Rose Water There are well chosen wines from the Loire Valley, Burgundy, the Rhone, Bordeaux, Italy, Spain, New Zealand, Australia, and of course America. feel lucky to have this place close by, but I would travel if I had to - it definitely qualifies as a destination restaurant. Rose Water in Park Slope is one my three favorites. | | | | | | | |

BROOKLYN GUY LOVES WINE | TUESDAY, 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. 005 Chidaine Montlouis sur Loire Clos Habert , $26 - Yum! 2005 Chidaine Montlouis sur Loire Les Bournais , $32 - sweeter than the Clos Habert, very sweet in fact.

BROOKLYN GUY LOVES WINE | FRIDAY, OCTOBER 6, 2006  Domaine du Closel Savennieres
Savennieres is one of the great Loire Valley appellations, producing amazing white wines made from the chenin blanc grape. These are impressive and serious wines, and represent an amazing value when considered with wines of equal quality from Burgundy, for example. My personal favorite Savennieres producer is Domaine du Closel. MORE >> -
 Roundup - Recent Sips and Bites
A few wines of interest from the past few weeks that don't get their own post: Burgundy 2003 Marechal Savigny Les Beaune Vieille Vignes , $ unknown (restaurant purchase). If I'm not mistaken, it was this wine that won the NYTimes tasting panels' "Village Burgundy" blind tasting a little over a year ago. Not likely - it's only 2007. MORE >> -
BROOKLYN GUY LOVES WINE | MONDAY, JANUARY 7, 2008  Clos Rougeard.if I Ever Go Back
We went to the Loire Valley and our plan was to see the various villages, and Tours, of course, but also to feast on the wonderful food and wines of the region. So this is an investment, not just in the Burgundy type of cash, but also in cellar space. If you spend $55 on a Burgundy, are you definitely getting the finest example? MORE >> -
BROOKLYN GUY LOVES WINE | THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 2008 By the Glass - Wines that I Don't Like Edition
But I just don't consider myself expert enough to sit here and tell you definitively that a wine is bad. You know by now how fond I am of Loire Valley wines. The 2005 Domaine de Bellivière Coteaux du Loir Le Rouge-Gorge , $20, is a wine that I was stunned to find that I didn't like. He likes everything. MORE >>
