Eric Texier at Upcoming Louis/Dressner Tasting

We imported Eric's wines when he first started his company and we stopped two years ago.

Since then, Eric has reorganized and scaled-down his company. We've stayed in touch and have been impressed with the direction his business, farm work, vinfication and wines are taking. We've all decided to start working together again and Louis/Dressner Selections will be offering his 2004s in the near future. These remain a brilliant selection of wines from the Rhône and the style has evolved and matured over the past few years. Eric will be bottling many of his 2004s in the next few weeks, so he will be showing many barrel samples at our tasting. Don't miss this event.

Eric will be attending the Louis/Dressner wine tasting on October 19th. This tasting is only for wine industry trade giants and is being held at a secret location. Call me on my cell phone at 917 834 2343 for more information.

Sometimes I think that there is one person leaving all these comments.

Then again, there has been an explosion of new hits since this site was mentioned in Food & Wine.

Who knows?

you sure know more than your share of screwballs sir.
- the sheriff (guest) 9-29-2005 3:44 pm


your last comment has left a bad taste in my mouth, sir.
- the anteater (guest) 9-29-2005 9:17 pm

look. i'm going for a mud bath. when i get back i would like this whole thing straightened out.
- the hippo (guest) 9-30-2005 2:16 pm


mr. dresser sure isn't going to like this. he's convinced i have everything to do with this menagerie so how about you other guys owning up. i really get yelled at about stuff like this. he wants us talking about high sugars, low sugars, harvests, ph content, blah, blah, blah.
- the sheriff (guest) 9-30-2005 6:52 pm


I'm all for talking about sugars! Texier's Noble Rot rocks!
- the humming bird (guest) 9-30-2005 8:03 pm


i concur. the wine is ultra-rich, full of botrytis with intense honey flavors and aromas.
- the african honey badger (guest) 9-30-2005 8:18 pm


isn't this great sir! high sugars, noble rot, honeyed textures! we're doing this all for you! tomorrow its terroir! not sure if we can find anyone here on the other side of that issue though. i'm off to my brother's now. we're going to watch yankees-red sox, smoke cigars, drink martinis, then throw a steak on the grill and drink some wine. i'm going into the cellar now to find a bottle. we sure love you! and aren't these animals pretty nice after all?

oxford town, oxford town, everybody's got their head bowed down.
- bob (guest) 10-01-2005 11:18 am


that's a great civil rights song mr. d. but we're suppose to talk about wine here so we make mr. dresser happy. today we're discussing terroir. have you written any songs of terroir?
- the sheriff (guest) 10-01-2005 11:56 am


this land is my land, this land is your land. from california to the new york island!
- woody (guest) 10-01-2005 12:20 pm


indeed mr. g., two significant viticultural regions to be sure but neither has a distinguished terroir. do you have any songs about loire?

Sur le pont d'Avignon
On y danse, on y danse
Sur le pont d'Avignon
On y danse tout en rond
Les belles dames font comme ça
Et puis encore comme ça
Sur le pont d'Avignon
On y danse tout en rond

- jacques (guest) 10-01-2005 1:31 pm


j'aime beaucoup le loire!
- le poodle francais (guest) 10-01-2005 2:28 pm


this is meaningless.
- jean-paul (guest) 10-02-2005 4:23 pm


Thank you jean-paul.

I've been away in Montréal, sorry for this banter.
