Quincy Sauvignon Blanc
Quincy, Central Vineyards, Loire Valley, France
A nice rugged old world sauv blanc. Acidic, fresh, a shade tart, full citrus, a hint of flowers. Increasingly becoming a fan of this style. Although Sancerres tend to be better expressions of it, I do like the fact that this Quincy is half the price. Went so well with my Swiss chard and homemade sausage risotto. The acidity cut the fat down and the freshness became the star.

It’s all Sauvignon Blanc, as is customary in Quincy. It’s as fragrant as a citrus tree, too, which also seems to be a hallmark of the region. The pale wine has a nose full of lemons and limes, with a sweet floral element to balance it. Old world Sauvignon is just amazing, with so much to offer. Tons of minerality on the palate, and a softness there as well that seems almost contradictory. The acidity makes things totally refreshing and also makes one want a plate of crabs, or lobster. An avocado salad would fit nicely in the scheme of things as well.

Sancere style. High mineral. A little sweeter than acidic, but drinking from a bottle that Lana Sr opened yesterday.
