Quick Review: Drinks at Fatty 'Cue

Root Beer Sazerac
Sweet, hint of earthy. Reminiscent of a Manhattan, without the smoke of bourbon.

Austria, Neusiedlersee, Sepp Blauer, Zweigelt 2010
+ // Earthy // currant, leather // cola, cocoa, cherry, oak // med
Delicate flavor that holds up to the meat surprisingly well. Spicy wood comes through.

Quick Reviews: Wines at Terrior Tribeca

France, Loire, Christian Venier, Les Hauts de Madon Cheverny Rouge 2010
++ // Fruity // Cranberry // Fruit, Rose, Bitter Herbs // Medium
Very complex, like a red muscat. Made from Pinot Noir and Gamay, while most red wines from Loire are usually Cabernet Franc.


Austria, Carnutum, Artner, Blauer Zweiglet "Klassik" 2010
++ // Spicy // Leather, Cherry, Currant, Cardamon // Black Pepper, Berry, Slate // Full
Fruit forward, long spicy finish. The earthy slate notes were very prominent with the pork.
