Flowery sweet smelling nose--hneysuckle. Very refreshing on the palate. Noticeable sugar, but also decent acid. Flavors of lemon and apple or peach. Looking forward to having this with grilled Moroccan spiced maridated chicken breasts. US$16.99 at Wine Club in Santa Ana. Read More

Smells of unripe fruit or melon, and granny smith, with some floral notes and salty minerality/flint. Strangely enough I get the faint hint of something warm and sweet on the nose, kind of like vanilla caramel. A dry wine that is lush/soft on the palate - the acid here is definitely more supportive than dominant, and highlights a medium bodied w... Read More

Lovely, easy drinking rose with a hint of sweetness, balanced by good acidity. Beautiful watermelon pink color with the flavor of strawberries, watermelon and rhubarb. Dangerously good. $11 from Costco. Read More

This Chenin Blanc wine tastes of fresh stone fruit with a slight sweetness to it. The high acidity present in the wine gives a refreshing feel and adds balance to the sweetness. Great summer wine.. Read More

Paired this with a 1 1/2" grilled Rib-eye. I hadn't eaten much grilled meat over the long winter of 2012/3, and this was just awesome. Timing is an overlooked contributor to life's delights. Probably consumed this Cabernet Franc a little early. Kind of raw, likely would have benefited both of us with a few more years on it's side, but I will not... Read More

WE just visited the Loire area and we found an amazing Sauvignon Blanc. It is one of the best white wines that I have tasted. It did win an award in France. We were able to ring back a couple of bottles but I would like to purchase a case of this wine. - all information in French Domaine Du Vieux Pressoir 2009 Sauvignon Cuvee Fleur de Lys- Va...

I've just added a picture to the Loire Wine page. It's an estate in the Layon called Domaine de Juchepie which is run by a Belgian couple called Eddy and Mileine Oosterlinck-Bracke. They are based in Faye d'Anjou and make the most incredible sweet wines or 'noble sweet' wines as Eddy likes to call them. The estate is biodynamic and he adds no...
