In a way, it's silly of me to have so little understanding about the development Loire Valley wine over the long term. I have a lot of the young stuff in the cellar - shouldn't I know more about what happens to this wine in 20 years? With this in mind I decided to find a few bottles of mature wine a ...

I could just post a picture, point you to Brooklynguy’s recent write-up of Huet’s Vouvray Pétillant and leave it at that. But that wouldn’t be very bloggerly of me now, would it? I received this bottle as a gift from a friend several months ago and it’s been biding its time in my wine fridge, waitin ...

Michael Feuerstein, the one-man side show of Pas Mal wines, came by the restaurant Friday with a few samples. He’s another one who focuses solely on French wine, especially Burgundy. Some people get Burgundy in their blood and nothing else will really do. I tasted one 2004 red burgundy, two 2005s, a ...

2002 Huet Vouvray Pétillant Brut, $33, Robert Chadderon Selections. It is without hesitation that I can say this is the finest non-Champagne sparkling wine that I've had. And it's better than many a Champagne, if you count Veuve Clicquot and the like. I had the 2000 Huet Brut and I really liked it, ...

Christophe Lhopitault of Wine and Beyond stopped by the restaurant yesterday with some of his wines. He recently started his own importing business of French wines, and the ones he brought were all pretty good and affordable and some were unusual. The Fleur de Mer 2007 Rose from the Cotes de Provenc ...

NV Foreau Vouvray Brut, $25, Rosenthal Imports. I love Foreau's still wines. Along with Domaine Huet, Foreau at Domaine du Clos Naudin is thought of as the finest producer in Vouvray. Foreau farms organically doesn't interfere with the wine - never adding sugar and not taming the acidity via malolac ...

Vouvray is wonderful stuff. It's an unusual white wine from the Loire, made from the Chenin Blanc grape, and it can be dry, fizzy, off-dry or sweet (with or without botrytis) - it just depends on the vintage, the vineyard, and the producer. Huet is one of the best producers, and certainly the most f ...

I’m enjoying a bottle of the honeyed, beeswax-y 2000 Huet Vouvray Pétillant, which is just about as perfectly slurpable a beverage as one could possibly imagine. I opened it because I recently drank a bottle of 2002 that I found astounding, with a perfect balance of ripe, summer fruit aromas, incisi ...

One of my favorite recipes comes originally from Claudia Roden's Book of Jewish Food. It is called poulet aux olives, and involves the braising of chicken pieces in olive oil, followed by the addition of onions, garlic, ginger, parsley, tomatoes, lemon juice, and finally blanched olives. As the chic ...
