Review:
Ok, as if the world of wine wasn't confusing enough.. This wine is from the Savoie wine region in the Savoy region of France...Huh? Basically the vineyards cling to the sides of the mountains in this alpine region. The grape, Jaquere, is not all that common. In fact this is really the only region that it's grown in. What does this mean to you? It means put down your Pinot Grigio and explore. This wine, with it's clean, crisp acidity is right up your alley. Ok, it's a tad bit rounder than most PGs, but it's still worth a try. This wine will be in my Summer rotation this year, try it and I'm sure it will be in yours as well..-Mitch
