TN: Summer sippers

"Where would Scarborough be?? "

Scarborough is one of those non-places Westchester has, like Edgemont. There's a train station, no actual village. I think it's physically part of Ossining, though they go to Briarcliff Manor schools.

Mike, never had the Peillot sparkler, though I have had the (good) Peillot Altesse still wine.

I thought last year's Renardet Fache (it's NV, but tends to appear on market in spring then disappear) was sweeter and more candied than most before. I assumed 2003 fruit. This is still sweet, but not candied, and fine for what it is.

thanks!

Anders, thanks for info. I didn't note acidity or AP #s. But it was (gulp) $24.99 - I passed!

I heard he got quite a reaction to the candy factor and might have pulled back a bit. Good, glad they listen at least...

I always enjoy your compte-rendus...

I live in Westchester - Amawalk to be exact - there is no Scarborough. You are correct in saying it's a "non- place".

Lawrence, Sorry, thought I answered this yesterday, but not showing up that I can see. I got at Zachys for I think $14: it's typically carried also in NY by Astor, PJs, and the geek-heaven Chambers Street.

I think Kermit Lynch also has a Cerdon Bugey with a good rep, but don't think it's Renardat-Fache.

I'd have to say on my end of the county we'd call Amawalk a non-place- at least Scarborough has a train station :)

I used to live in Westchester--Ardsley and New Rochelle, to be exact. Of course there's a Scarborough. See, for example,

I believe it's a hamlet, not a village, town, or city, and therefore is not a legal entiry, but that doesn't stop it from existing. There are lots of hamlets in New York State. In Rockland County, across the river from Westchester, New City, the County Capital, is just a hamlet.
