My favorite go-to Sav Blanc, especially when the weather turns warm in Phoenix. Green apple, pear and citrus notes (lime?) followed by a hint of herbs in the finish. Pairs well with goat cheese. I like this wine with a cheese board. — 8 years ago

Strawberry jam wine. Drank this during a rare heat spell. Light enough for the warm weather, and fruitiness was very refreshing. Once paired with food, the fruitiness was a bit excessive. — 9 years ago

Mix of Syrah, can sauv, and garnacha, limestone off the nose with hints of lime, abundant strawberry and slight melon. Easy to drink especially during warm weather. Would recommend to pair with almost anything other than a number of steaks. — 9 years ago

One of the peatier Single Malts around and being from the West and being a McDonald, one of my favourites. Seaweed and spirity with the expected heat on the throat. A good evening tipple as the colder weather sets in. — 10 years ago

Juicy, fresh red berries, a lovely acid and a generous touch of funk and a mouthwatering finish that leave you wanting more. Good in any weather but if it’s over 80, this is what you want to drink. Definitely a little sweet but not cloying. — 8 years ago

Wow, this is an amazing value wine at only $10! I confess, I didn't know anything about la Côtes Rêvée and assumed it was in Provence, due to the sweet lychee aroma. However, the medium plus acidity definitely makes sense for the Loire Valley. This delicate rosé has aromas of slightly underripe strawberry and raspberry, like they were the first crop of late spring. There is a bit of minerality that isn't quite smoke or gravel, but more like soft chalk. I would think from the aromas that the summer of 2015 (this vintage) was hot and they picked the grapes early. The varietals are Carignan (70%, increasingly popular in CA) and Grenache (30%).

I would pair this with a strawberry, goat cheese, and spinach salad or baked salmon with buerre blanc... mmm.... yes, definitely the salmon! Oooh, or shrimp scampi or pasta á la vodka! Definitely a food-friendly wine!

Word of advice: do not over-chill, otherwise you lose the aromas. 57-62 degrees is perfect for this wine, great for porch sitting when the weather is nicer! — 9 years ago

It’s rosé season in spirit in Chicago. This is a great one. Nice balance of the acid you expect with lush fruit off the old Mourvèdre vines. Wish I had more bottles for actual warm weather. — 8 years ago
