Default [TN] Two cheapies from Dressner

Last night, we engaged Andrew in preparing a pizza dinner wherein we
each assembled two small pizzas for ourselves, a game that Andrew
greatly enjoyed. To go with our pizza, I opened a bottle of:

2007 Iché "Les Heretiques" VdP
nose: cherryish fruit, stony minerality
palate: simple fruit, decent acidity, medium-light body, mild tannins

Not a complex wine by any stretch, but a fine pizza wine in a CdR-ish
sorta vein (without the gamey qualities I prize in CdR).

Tonight, with a dinner of leftover chicken eaten after Jean and I
returned from running review sessions for our classes (at different
times -- tag-team parenting) I opened:

2007 JP Brun Beaujolais Blanc
nose: initially, malolactic butter, later turning more mineral and pineapply
palate: initially soft, turning mineral and acid, with lemon and
pineapple fruit and a lightly creamy finish

Louis/Dressner imports, who brought in both these bottles, has become
over the past few years our principal source of QPR imports. The Les
Heretiques sold for less than $10 and the Brun for about $12 (during the
CSW moving sale) and both wines punched well above their weight, to
employ one of Dale's metaphors.

Mike,
I first had this wine (probably the '00) chez Brun in the Pierres
Dorees. You could almost certainly buy it ex-cellar if nowhere else...

thanks for notes. These two (along with CRB, Pepiere, Vissoux Trad.,
Donnhoff and Leitz QbAs,etc) are about as close to annual buys as I
get.
