On we go:
2006 Muscadet Coteaux de la Loire (Sur Lie) Lieu-dit Les Grand Vignes
Medium gold; aromas of ripe melon with a flinty characteristic, some white peach and fresh apricot; amazingly perfumed, elegant, balanced, and refined for a Muscadet (must be the great pedigree: favorable, Grand-Cru like single vineyards, old vines, etc...). Complex with great finesse. At $13 floor*, this would be my "summer wine" by the case!
2004 Leone D'Almerita
Deep golden; aromas of citrus and pale fruits with some mineral (wet slate, etc.) and subtle floral (fresh cut flowers) notes; ripe fruit (tangerine) with balanced acidity, somewhat lean and crisp- unique blend of Catarratto Bianco (another indigenous Italian varietal) and Chardonnay. Summer singing at $13 floor*.
* Floor means before any store generated discount... this makes these prices rock!
