FEATURE WINE of the Week.
'07 and '08 Chateau HUET Vouvray
Domaine Huet has come to be synonymous with the bestest, most delicious Vouvray for those in the know (wink wink, that’s you!). Made from entirely Chenin Blanc grapes, Vouvray is an elegant classic that hasn’t lost class, but instead has gained depth, poise and personality. While we find that these Loire Valley classics are seasonless, even timeless, there is just something about drinking a minerally, lifted white-- whether bone-dry like the Haut-Lieu Sec, or with bubbles like the Pétillant--that works brilliantly with the melty, hot dog days of summer that have been upon us recently. A summer storm and its crackling air seems to be the perfect accompaniment to these nervy yet finessed wines. With three separate properties (Clos de Bourg, Haut Lieu, and Le Mont) we recommend trying on each one for a terrific sense of what terroir can contribute to the final product. As you can tell, we imbibe often of Huet. And highly recommend.

Cable Station Sauvignon BlancCrafted at a carbonzero winery, this is wine is environmentally savvy and delicious. Scintillating minerality and laser-edged citrus notes are softened by a plump palate of mouthwatering fruit and herbs. Pair with all sorts of spring dishes or a second glass and the patio.
