With this recent SUMMER HEAT, nothing pairs better than a crisp and refreshing Sauvignon Blanc! What better place to go than to the Loire's Sancerre region!
These great Summer whites go well with everything this season has to offer:
Pools, Beaches, Parties, Oysters, Clams, BBQs, Friends, and of course Fun!
They dance on your palate with wonderful citrus notes and lively acidity. These wines are the perfect match with shellfish, ceviche, or even grilled seafood, but also don't need food. Great sippers all on their own...
We just received an amazing, high-scoring Sancerre for the season!
It's the 2008 Claude Riffault Sancerre les Boucauds. At only $24.95/bottle and $299./case. And if you need a second opinion, here's the 92 point review:
"Very light yellow. Complex, floral bouquet combines Meyer lemon, orange peel, pear, Lily of the Valley, chalk and oyster shell; smells like a glass full of rocks and flowers. Dry, impressively pure and precise, with an almost weightless quality but excellent concentration to the citrus, mineral and honeysuckle flavors. The finish leaves a sweeter pear element behind and strongly repeats the chalk and oyster shell notes. Guess what would go with this?"
