So, at Saturday Sippin', if we say we're going to learn about a new wine, we stick to our word. While out running errands, Daryl stopped by our local wine shop and requested a French wine that would go well with Chipotle burritos (our dinner). He came home with a semi-sweet white for under $10 ($9.99 actually).
J. Moreau & Fils 2004 Vouvray Demi-sec. For starters, Kath loved the fact that there was a little map of the Vouvray region on the front label. Also, the varietal was listed on the back label: 100% Chenin Blanc. Very nice. This wine was sweeter than what we normally look for in a white. Lots of fruit and a little honey. Very supple--but not syrupy--texture. Quite tasty with our smoky, spicy chicken and pork burritos.
Next week, a French red, perhaps?
(Oh, and check out their website, linked above. Funny how seeing pictures and reading detailed explanations of winemaking can lessen the intimidation factor.)
