Default TN: Falanghina and Bourgogne Blanc

Since we didn't do meatless Monday we moved it to Tuesday, with winter
squash flans with greens and red wine/shallot sauce (from Deborah
Madison's Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone), and pasta with edamame.
Latter seemed to call for white. The first half bottle of the 2007
Feudi di San Gregorio Falanghina (Sannio) was corked, second fine.
White fruits, nutty, floral. B-/B

Tonight was a family favorite, chicken schnitzel over herbs with a
lemony dressing. Wine was the 2007 Roulot Bourgogne Blanc. Lovely for
level - that Cote d'Or richness, but with a Chablisesque minerality.
Light oak notes, pear and limey citrus with some hazelnut and a hint
of flint. Really as good a basic Bourgogne blanc as I've ever had. B++

Grade disclaimer: I'm a very easy grader, basically A is an
excellent*wine, B a good wine, C mediocre. Anything below C means I
wouldn't*drink at a party where it was only choice. Furthermore, I
offer no*promises of objectivity, accuracy, and certainly not of
consistency.**
