An amateur oenophile’s view of the wine world in New York City (and sometimes beyond). These are my thoughts on wines I’ve tasted in restaurants and bars along with my experiences of shopping for wine in the city.

2005 Chateau de Coulaine - Chinon ''Bonnaventure'' - Loire Valley -France
This purple tinged wine is soft and plush with black fruit and an earthy texture reminiscent of picking blackberries in the words of upstate New York during the heat of summer.
Not surprisingly, the wine’s flavor is one of crushed blackberries accented by a light kiss of earthy “woodsy-ness.” Cedar? Maybe…
The soft texture really makes this very food friendly wine memorable. B+.
