2001 Hugues Beaulieu Picpoul de Pinet

[hotwine]

Served the '05 version of this staple last night to our small church group's regular Sunday evening dinner. Everyone brought a salad of some sort, so the Picpoul hit the spot. Even some who clamored for red wine when they came in the door soon raved about it. We went through three bottles for nine wine-drinkers, and hit the cellar for another as "take-home" for one couple who really loved it. Good gathering, even though it became a wake for one member killed in an auto accident on Wednesday.
