Tonight's wine is the 2018 Francis Blanchet Vieilles Vignes Pouilly Fumé.
On the nose there is notes of lime, peach, kiwi, lemon curd, white flowers, herbs and minerality.
On the palate I am getting the telltale lime, green apple, grapefruit, bell pepper, minerality and an earthiness.
This wine is medium bodied with medium + acidity and a crisp long finish. A nice Sauvignon Blanc but there are so many more better out there. Have a great downward slide into the weekend and please be safe. Nostrovia! 🥂🥂🥂

Flinty, bursting with citrus like lime, kumquat, oro blanco, pith. Grass and fresh tarragon mingle about with a leesy richness giving the wine some stance on the palate. Nice mineral length on the back end, perfect sipper for these warm February days in St. Helena.

Gun flint and a hint tomato vine, not big on this style, but I've been outside all day and I wanted a groovy white to start the night

My first 2014 from the Loire Valley. If this is any indication, it is a great vintage. This is everything you look for in a Sauvignon Blanc.

Tasty citrus, melon, crushed sea shells, and some white flowers. Plenty of acid to balance out a hint of cream.
