Four exciting and very affordable French wines geared for warmer weather and the Holiday weekend. The French always figure prominently into our 4th of July celebrations; we offer thanks for their gift of the Statue of Liberty and thanks for their support as we broke away from the rule of Britain. Join us at the bar this Saturday as we raise a glass to America's Birthday! A Votre Santé

2008 Fournier Sauvignon Blanc; VDP du Val de la Loire, France
From one of our favorite Sancerre producers, this is a great value for all Sauvignon Blanc lovers. The nose is fresh and fruit filled with classic floral, herb, and grapefruit nuances. The palate is medium-bodied, fresh, pure and utterly delicious in a dry, yet fruit-driven way. This refreshing wine hails from some of the best regions for growing this grape and should pair well with a variety of fish and chicken dishes.

2009 Domaine des Soulié "Cuveé Rémy"; VDP Monts de la Grage, France
A beautiful blend of 80% Cinsault and 20% Syrah, this hails from the rugged hinterlands near the more famous appellation of Saint Chinian. This bistro- styled red offers lots of juicy, engaging fruit that offers a riot of red and black fruit notes. Framing these easy to drink and like flavors is a lovely spice component adding subtle brown spice as well as herbal notes to the party. This is a great medium-bodied red ideal for a picnic affair and or the many grilled foods of summer. Organically grown, this continues the string of high quality values arriving from the south of France

This is a delicious, peppery, complex wine that will drink well for 3-4 years. Desiring to capture the full pleasures of his vineyard, Brunel bottles this wine without fining or filtration.
