What do we bring to the table this time? A little friendly-fight competition, if you will. Both Long Island and the Finger Lakes have been known to make knock-out Cabernet Franc, oh-so sippable Sauv Blancs, and even one ringer LI producer has come out swingin’ with some Chenin. But the Loire Valley? Well, they’ve long been the reigning Champion of these comely grape varietals. So we’ve decided to put ‘em the ring together with the best ref ever — the food-pairing stylings of locavore-loving iCi Restaurant right here in Fort Greene. Which bottles will float like a butterfly with acidity that stings like a bee? Catch a ring-side seat at the table at iCi and you decide!
