Sadly for France, they will not be competing; However, this Thursday from 6-9, Dandelion will be showcasing bottles far superior to their 2010 squad.
Importer Bertrand Demontoux will be here to pour three new additions to the Dandy shelves. All organic and from small producers, we’re sure you’ll find at least one winner.
The Team:
CLOS D’YVIGNE 2008 “PRINCESSE DE CLEVES” BERGERAC BLANC $15
This unique white blend (50% Sauvignon Blanc, 30% Semillon, 20% Muscadelle) really stood out to us when we first tasted it. Dry, tangy, and herbaceous, we noticed a hint of fresh mint on the finish.This complex and rich white will really surprise you and we think it’s a must try this Summer.
GEFFARD AND GUILBAUD 2008 “EQUILIBRIUM” $14.50
A Dandelion staff favorite, this 50/50 blend of Gamay Noir and Cabernet Franc from the Loire Valley really expresses the best qualities of both grapes. A perfect balance of ripe, red fruit and dry, dusty earth, this wine is sure to be a year round favorite.
CHATEAU LES CROISILLE 2007 “TRADITION” MALBEC $15
“Tradition” is a feisty yet refined Cahors Malbec, and a touch of Merlot adds a silky quality to the typically strong tannins found in wines of this region. Dark fruit, spice, and earth in equal parts- definitely a good one to pick up next time you plan to throw some meat on the grill.
And our tasting wouldn’t be complete without delicious CHEESE! Seeya tonight, while supplies last!
