Staff Pick Notes

I find that the Loire Valley can offer great value for money wines if you take the time to look hard enough at all your options in front of you. Sancerre has become one of the most recognizable appellation wines in the Loire, but it can be tough to find one for a competitive price. This white Cheverny is a fantastic alternative and most certainly offers great value for money. The Cheverny AOC is located on the eastern side of Touraine and its wine style resembles that of the Upper Loire where white Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé are produced. This blend of sauvignon blanc and chardonnay leans into the signature aromatic style of the former with notes of fresh cut grass, asparagus, white flowers, wet stone, gooseberries, grapefruit, lemon, and green apple all supported by a refreshing level of acidity on the palate.

More About This Wine

Loire

There’s a lot to remember when it comes to the Loire. Novices, take note: Cabernet Franc is a great alternative to Cabernet Sauvignon, Muscadet is unparalleled as a companion to shellfish, and Cour Cheverny is the best white wine appellation you’ve never heard of. As diverse as Loire wines are, one day soon you'll know your Melon de Bourgogne from your Romorantin.

Sauvignon Blanc

Few varietals have spawned as bizarre a list of descriptors as Sauvignon Blanc. Believe it or not, “cat pee” is in fact a complimentary tasting note, associated with some of the best bottlings. (It’s a somewhat odd way of pointing out herbaceousness in the wine.) Cat pee aside, Sauvignon Blanc (sometimes called "Fumé Blanc" in California) is a bit of a chameleon in terms of style, and quite utterly at the whim of the winemaker. Some are fermented in barrel, others in stainless steel. Some...

Chardonnay

From Champagne to Chablis, it's hard (not to mention unpleasant) to avoid this famous white variety. During a huge popularity surge beginning in the late 1980s, Chardonnay plantings have increased dramatically -- not only in California's wine country, with which the variety is nearly synonymous, but also in Burgundy (its original, Old World home) and just about everywhere else in the winemaking world. It is a flexible, eager-to-please grape, responding well to just about anything a winemaker...
