| BROOKLYN GUY LOVES WINE MARCH 27, 2007 Notes From the Dressner Real Wine Attack Tasting Dark purple colored and a little murky, this wine smelled like a flower shop, with smoky spices too. NV Renerdat-Fache Bugey Cerdon Demi-sec Petillant , $16 - this is a low alcohol (~7.5%) effervescent rose colored wine from Bugey in eastern France. 2005 Clos Roche Blanche Touraine Cabernet Franc , $13.

BROOKLYN GUY LOVES WINE | TUESDAY, AUGUST 7, 2007  The Finest Value Red of the Season
Actually, it's a blend of Pinot and Gamay, so maybe instead I should say that it's the finest under $15 red wine of the season. For red wine Pinot Noir, Gamay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, and the obscure Pineau d'Aunis are allowed. Can you use 99% Pinot Noir and a touch of Gamay? It costs $13.50 Who knows.
