Cousin cultivates Gamay, Grolleau, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Cabernet Franc, and Chenin Blanc - there is something for everyone in this portfolio. As it turns out, yes. | | | | | | |
| | | | WINE TASTING GUY APRIL 30, 2008 Polaner tasting standouts Moving to the Rhone valley in France I tried some wines from Eric Texier. Next to Texier was Domaine Franck Peillot from the Bugey region of France (a place I had never previously heard of). wine I will definitely keep an eye out for in the future. Sadly Pam was not there, but her 2005 Cab Franc & 2004 Cab Sauv were. | 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. The Cabernet Franc is my favorite, there is also the Cot (known elsewhere as Malbec), and the Cuvee Granit, a blend of Cabernet Franc and Merlot, I think. At reasonable prices too. | | | | | | | |

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. BrooklynLady and I were well into our Loire Valley trip at this point, and she was nearing the end of her well documented patience for wine traveling and tasting. Did you notice that? Mais bien sur!

BROOKLYN GUY LOVES WINE | TUESDAY, OCTOBER 30, 2007 By the Glass
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, JANUARY 7, 2008  Clos Rougeard.if I Ever Go Back
BrooklynLady and I went to France together for the first time in October of 2005. 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. If you spend $55 on a Burgundy, are you definitely getting the finest example? MORE >> -
BROOKLYN GUY LOVES WINE | MONDAY, MARCH 3, 2008  Three Loire 05's for the Cellar
I've been checking in on my 2005 Loire wines lately, just to see how things are going. Loire-lovers have been touting 2005 as a great vintage, as good as 05 in Burgundy or Bordeaux.
