I just got back from a big wine show in NYC and I have to say when it comes to quality, value, and taste, the French are the masters! I love to eat and I love to drink wine and this show featured great wines from all over the world. Despite the tremendous variety I sampled, I couldn’t help but come back to the rouge, blanc et bleu time and again. In fact, if I could only have access to one nation’s products… well, thank goodness I don’t have to make that decision! Even though we at Top Ten carry a delicious and wide range of wines from all around the globe, I want to share my passion for French products with you this week. This Saturday from 1 PM to 4 PM we will be tasting affordable and approachable wine with a pronounced French accent. À bientôt (see you soon)…
Cheers!

If you are looking for a refreshing, unoaked Chardonnay for quaffing and enjoying with friends, this is it. Flavors of apples, pear, and melon, it’s crisp and bright. An unbeatable value from the Anne de Joyeuse cooperative in southern France’s Limoux region. |

4 Vent Cotes-du-Rhone 2016 | |

“4 Vents” translates to 4 Winds in English. This is my new house red! 50% Grenache, 20% Syrah, 20% Carignan and 10% Mourvedre. It has fruit, spice, and moderate to soft tannins. Just get it in your glass and enjoy. The style of this wine is one where the winemaker gives a nod to traditional French preferences but also has the American palate in mind. | |

Le Tuffeau Vouvray 2016 | |

This wine comes from the Cave des Producteurs de Vouvray. This is a well-run cooperative with grower members who produce high-quality Chenin Blanc fruit. The wine has generous flavors of Honeycrisp apple and honeydew melon. It has a fruity approach and finishes on a crisp note. Easy to drink and easy to love and there is so much in the way of food that it pairs nicely with. | |
