Wine Review: While at the NY Wine Expo I attended a seminar on Côtes du Rhône wines. This white wine was quite nice and one I certainly recommend that you try. Have you had a Grenache Blanc based wine before? I would venture to guess that if you did, you didn’t know it. So give this one a whirl, you’ll enjoy it! This light yellow wine opens with a very aromatic anise like bouquet. On the palate, this light to medium bodied wine is round, has nicely integrated acidity, and displays light apricot and citrus flavors with a little minerality. The finish is dry and brief. This Very Good value wine would pair perfectly with a light white fish like sole. Enjoy - Ken
