At $15 this is a nice bargain. Medium body, no green pepper (as in many Loire wines) but snappy and acidic--great for food. Good berry quality and a touch of tannin that will give this an interesting older finish, should I have any remaining that long.
A fine first offering of this variety.
And it was paired with calves liver with onions, thyme, oregano, and a balsamic/madeira sauce; fried okra and potatoes with some striped beets to round it out.
The beets did not go with the wine at all.

In my view beets don't go with anything. (I just don't like them.)

That was my take on it, too, Foodie. I'll probably end buying the little stock we have left in a wine shop that will remain nameless!
Hope you guys have dried out over there, and that you have what we have today -- gorgeous stuff.
Cheers,
