Wine Reviews

This is 100% Sauvignon Blanc from the eastern end of the Loire Valley in France.  The "ES-56" stands for the Eocene period in which the soils were created 56 Million years ago.  Light golden in color, clear and bright.  The nose features lemons, slight peach and gun flint.  Medium bodied.  Slightly oily texture.  On the palate, the lemon comes thru along with White Peaches and slight minerality.  Good finish.  This drinks well on its own and will work well with lighter foods.  Chicken Salad would be a nice pairing.  Drink over the next five to eight years.  

This is 100% Melon de Bourgogne from the western end of the Loire Valley near the Atlantic.  It is a go to source for well priced white wines that are crisp and mineral driven.  This is light golden in color, clear and bright.  The nose is deep with Crushed shells, slight Granny Smith Apples and a hint of lemons.  Medium bodied.  Crisp acidity.  On the palate, this has a nice minerality with a touch of citrus.  Long finish.  The classic pairing would be Oysters but it would work well with (spicy) Thai Food.  Drink over the next five to seven years.

100% Melon de Bourgogne.  Light golden in color, clear and bright.  The nose is big with lemons and some crushed shells.  Medium bodied.  On the palate, lots of minerality with a touch of lime.  The finish is short.  This is drinking well now and would be better with food.  It would work well with fried Calamari.  Drink over the next five years.  

Medium gold in color, clear and bright.  The nose is steely with a slight lime note.  Medium bodied.  On the palate, some minerality with a very slight lemon feature. "Flat" on the finish.  This is a wine that is best consumed immediately.  It is still nice enough but not meant to age.  Drink now.  Better with food.  Grilled fish with a herbal sauce would be a nice pairing.
