| Description: | "i often find writing about our most popular everyday wines to be unexpectedly difficult. These wines are beloved by our regular clients, instantly recognizable by label, well-priced, and sell briskly by the case. What more really needs to be said? âNot much,â I thought at first. âI'll dash this off so I can focus on writing about our more iconic wines.â But I came to realize that this attitude was not only lazy, but wrongheaded, too. Why shouldn't a wine like Domaine du Salvard's piquant Sauvignon Blancâ"a mainstay on our clients' tables that's often referred to as the âButterfly wineâ because of the butterfly on the labelâ"get its due? It's lip-smackingly delicious vintage after vintage, and there's plenty of it to go around. Quality in quantity is no mean feat. And there's always just the right amount of crispness; it's never flabby or austere. There are citrus notes and grassiness, as any classic Loire Sauvignon Blanc should have, but never to excess. It pairs well with just about everything, and a case can be had for a pretty reasonable price. If that doesn't deserve high praise I don't know what does! To that end, I'm christening the Sauvignon Blanc âUniqueâ an icon of a different sort, an icon of affordability. Its pleasures are open for all to taste and enjoy." Kermit lYNCH |
