Darker than most roses I'm used to (and stronger at 14.5% alc.) this is positively dripping with juicy, succulent raspberry and strawberry fruit with a complement of spice.

I came THIS close, but couldn't pull the trigger. <BR/><BR/>bayridge Ann!!! good to see you. cool choice for a reception. i bet a few folks got a little whacked out on the almost 14% alcohol combined with the gulpability. and yes, J & F are your kind of peeps. if you're near astor wines, and i know that you are, they sell 3 different cuvees of the 2 asses, most expensive is $18. many other selections too from J & F. not the raison et L'ange though, which sucks. <BR/><BR/>hey lyle - this is a really good point, that natural without quality is bad wine (and perhaps dangerous wine). i would love to go to a J & F tasting and see how many of the wines are on and how many are off, and get a sense of their portfolio. did you go to the last one? thanks for these insights. <BR/><BR/>hey andrew - can you eat hot dogs and other foods with sulfur? i hope so because to be allergic to wine for you would be like depriving a dog of its bone. cruel. that said, there are plenty of unsulfured wines out there. seems like the trick is to learn about a few good producers.Brooklynguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16321573602782343974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-62118800245120693482008-01-29T17:02:00.000-05:002008-01-29T17:02:00.000-05:00I have to give this Raisin et L'Ange a try.

I find the wines are super hit or miss. Natural for the sake of being natural and sometimes overboard on the no sulfur and you get bubbling and exploding bottles and very unstable wines. Cousin is very good as is Sablonettes in Anjou when they are on. Alot of their winemakers are making wines with flaws and as natural as possible because it is hip and the thing to do now. The Paris wine bar scene eats them up. Joe Dressner's producers and Neal Rosenthal's on the other hand are excellent wines that also happen to be natural but not at the expense of the quality of the wines. Sometimes too natural is not a good thing.Lyle Fasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10691042953720294290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-77021943300823642972008-01-29T11:17:00.000-05:002008-01-29T11:17:00.000-05:00Ooooh!

They're delicious lightly chilled with grilled meat imho. And! I love the 2 Asses wines. A friend of mine married a restauranteur who shall remain unnamed and the 2 Asses wines were what he chose to serve at the reception. I've been a huge fan ever since. <BR/>thanks for turning me onto Jenny & Francois. They sound like my kind of peeps!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-49121515382883669692008-01-28T18:06:00.000-05:002008-01-28T18:06:00.000-05:00I've tried only a few of their wines, and all have...I've tried only a few of their wines, and all have been interesting and well-made; I think Jenny & Francois belong right alongside Dressner and Rosenthal. My favorite was a cabernet sauvignon from the Loire (!) — the Agnès et René Mosse 2004 Anjou Rouge, $18 at Astor. It was bracingly tart, juicy, and amazingly aromatic. I haven't tried the '05 vintage, but I plan to.The Cheap Lushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18394598909486020238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-52423790984074018792008-01-28T13:07:00.000-05:002008-01-28T13:07:00.000-05:00Jenny & Francois imports sort of hit my radar scre...Jenny & Francois imports sort of hit my radar screen in the past few months and I, too, have corresponded with Jenny via their website. Astor Wines seems to carry many of their selections in NYC, and here in SF the new shop called Terroir loves them. Two of their vignerons whose wines I've enjoyed so far are Herve Souhaut (another Ardeche selection, I believe) and Olivier Cousin. I will definitely try to find the 'Fable.'Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
