Wine: Mas de Gourgonnier

So last week we asked the question “What is a boutique wine” and we had a number of fantastic comments… one of which was that a boutique wine should have a story.  This week’s wine definitely has a story, a crazy shaped bottle and a family pouring its passion into it. We sometimes scoff at

What is Boutique Wine?

Most people define boutique wine as “small production”, “artisanal” or even “cult”.  But what does it really mean for a wine to be boutique? Over the past few weeks, we’ve tried to highlight wines from lesser known areas, like New Mexico or Jasnieres.  We’ve also tasted some wine where only a few hundred cases are

Chenin Blanc from Jasnières

We had such a delicious, fascinating wine last weekend, we thought we absolutely had to share it here. There was only one problem however: we had trouble figuring out how to describe it. We were not the only ones: a quick search showed that Chris of the excellent Full Pour wine blog felt exactly the

With wine however, the discussion becomes a bit more complicated. We are not sure that we agree with Mark Bittman when he says that drinking

Light Winter Salad and New Mexico Wine

This week’s bottle definitely is a special one. Not necessarily for its taste but rather for its provenance, New Mexico. Although this is the oldest wine growing region in the United States, few people know about it and New Mexican wines are quite rare on the east coast. Gruet, probably the most famous winery in

Valentine’s Day can mean different things to different people.   For us, we’ve done the fancy dinners at restaurants, rom-coms at the cinema, massages for two… so what’s left for two foodies with a voracious appetite for wine?   A massive home cooked 30oz rib eye for two, that’s what!

Volcanic wine, pizza and rock-n-roll

Last night’s pairing surprised us more than anything we’ve experienced so far this year. It involved Italian wine, a homemade pizza and a CD we hadn’t heard in years. It all started back in 2005… We used to be regulars at — what we still consider to be — the best wine bar in New

Two dear friends have begun sharing their wine knowledge and tasting experience on their new blog, Tag: Wine. They’ve graciously offered to share the wine love on Eat Boutique each week, lucky us! A boutique wine from Chablis? “C’est impossible!” you might be thinking. But, in the small town of Milly located just over 2

This weekend, we made a grand lunch for dear friends. This lunch involved some scrumptious recipes like slow-roasted pulled pork sandwiches and a spicy vinegar-based barbecue sauce (thanks to my hubby), sweet potato gratin (thanks to a great recipe at food52.com) and a luscious caramel pudding (thanks to Deb at Smitten Kitchen). It was quite

Sow’s Ear Winery, Brooksville, Maine

I’m drinking wine in my chilly Boston-area home tonight, but dreaming of my afternoon at The Sow’s Ear Winery. I’m guzzling, err, sipping a very nice Tempranillo with a noisy Gordon Ramsey in the background beating up on those young chefs, including Boston’s Tremont 647′s Andy Husbands, but I’m wishing it was a bright and

New England Wine Country

Yes, Virginia, there is such a thing as New England Wine Country. It isn’t a myth or legend of yore. It isn’t a fantasy I conjured up after one too many bottles of vino. Indeed, the quilt of New England towns nestled in Eastern Rhode Island and Southeastern Mass. do provide more than adequate ‘wine’
