Definitely a great food wine. As to the wines I started with the 2006 Chardonnay that only sees 5% new oak & is put through no malolactic fermentation. It was a nice Chardonnay and for the price ($28 suggested) a nice buy relative to some of the other $50+ Napa Chards. Chardonnay (that sells for about $70!) MORE >>

began in a French table area and tried some Sancerres (made from Sauvignon Blanc), some white Burgundys (made from Chardonnay) and some white blends. He wants his wines to show a nice purity of fruit (Chardonnay) and as such uses large 600 liter (mostly neutral) barrels. don't know. And there was 1 rose' that I tried. MORE >>

Definitely one I'll be on the lookout for! enjoyed a nice Pinot Gris & Chardonnay of theirs. She had a nice Sauvignon Blanc and very pleasant Merlot as well. The Selene "Napa Valley" Cabernet Sauvignon had some green bell pepper notes to them and I asked her if she blended in some Cab Franc. Great stuff. MORE >>

also tasted Chardonnays, Sauvignon Blancs, Pinot Biancos, Gewurtztraminers, Sylvaners, Muller Thurgaus, and a few whites which were blends of some of the aforementioned varietals. The Andriano Cantina "Tor di Lupo" Sauvignon Blanc 2006, a wine the pourer called a CRU wine, was quite interesting. SWEET BUBBLE GUM. MORE >>

good bottle of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, or Chardonnay from Long Island usually costs the same as a better bottle of wine from elsewhere. started out by following Lenn around, took his guided tour of Long Island whites, tasting many a Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay. My "4"s: 2005 Lieb Pinot Blanc , $19. alcohol. MORE >>
