WOW WINES OF THE WEEK 7/2-7/8!
Le Grand Caillou - Sauvignon Blanc 2016
Sancerre at half the price! The Fournier family, with roots as deep as their vines in this region, seem to be related to just about everyone in some way. They've been farming and producing wines in Sancerre for generations. We are pleased to have been offered this wine, yet again, at such a great price. Soft, subtle mineral notes are wrapped up in aromatics of melon and citrus. Clean, bright and refreshing, this is a perfect little Sauvignon Blanc. Tropical fruit, citrus and spice aromas and flavors, with vibrant acidity and minerality.
$9.99
Domaine Pichot Vouvray 2017
Domaine Pichot Vouvray 2017
Offers a ripe, flattering feel, with creamed pear, ginger and quince flavors gliding through, backed by well-embedded acidity and a lingering mineral hint on the finish. Flirts with an off-dry feel overall, but stays refreshing and focused, displaying a pleasant fennel echo.

La Pépie Muscadet
Sévre et Maine sur Lie 2016
The 2016 La Pépie shows classic Muscadet aromas of pear, citrus peel, almond and stone with a bit of lime-flower. The palate is dense, with nice ripeness, balanced with firm stony acidity, with flavors of dried pear, citrus, stone and white pepper and finishing with good length of citrusy acids and saline minerals. This is a serious Muscadet that echos the characteristics of the estate's top cuvées. 100% Melon de Bourgogne.
