I don't know if the producers of white Burgundy have an official bird. But if they don't they should consider the American Robin!
Nothing says Spring has sprung and better weather is on the way than that first sighting of a robin!
I finally saw a few robins over the weekend (even though it was wicked cold out) and I immediately thought of warmer weather and the perfect wine for the Spring and Summer...
CORTON CHARLEMAGNE!! This wine goes everywhere; the grill, the beach, weddings, long weekends...and with everything!
And we have one of the all time best deals ever for Corton Charlemagne available:
2006 Bonneau du Martray Corton Charlemagne - 94 Burghound - $85 bottle | $1,020 case. This one is ripe and ready and to go. With gobs of fruit braced up with that smooth minerality that makes Chardonnay from this region like none other made anywhere else in the world. It's big enough to drink while it's still cold but when the days get longer there is no finer wine to have on a beautiful WARM day.
Stock up for the great weather now!
