Muscadet
Summertime and the livin’ is easy. It doesn’t matter if you live near the ocean, a lake, a cool river or a swimming pool, when the weather heats up we all enjoy being by the water. A very dry, zesty white wine from France, Muscadet is perfect for sipping on a hot summer day. It’s also a wine that will take you through to dinner. Muscadet goes well with just about every kind of seafood. One pairing that comes to mind are the grouper sandwiches they serve at little open-air restaurants in Clearwater, Florida. Yum. Whether or not you’re pairing it with food, or simply enjoying a glass by the pool, you can enjoy a good French wine on a budget – $10 to $15. Cheers!
Château de la Chesnaie
Very pale straw with a hint of green. The bouquet is clean and fresh, with aromas of green apples. a very dry wine that is crisp and fresh. Light apple and grassy flavors, with an almost salty tang. A natural choice for shellfish, also excellent aperitif wine. $10.99
