e double vin blanc de l'achat de semaine une bouteille de chacun et descendent de 10 pour cent

2005  Trevor Jones Boots $9.99
Dry  White Table wine from Eden Valley,South Australia,Australia  

This wine is a tank-fermented and aged blend of Muscat and Riesling. It is incredibly floral with focused flavors of peaches, lemons and sandy stone soils of weathered mica-schist that quench the palate clean.  It is an ideal wine for grilled chicken and those early tomatoes.

2005  Francois Chidaine, “Les Tuffeaux” Montlouis $23.99
A Chenin Blanc from Montlouis,Touraine,Loire Valley,France  

Review by David Schildknecht of the Wine Advocate

 “Assembled from numerous parcels and only discretely sweet (even if surprisingly high in residual sugar), the Chidaine 2005 Montlouis Les Tuffeaux is a marvel and the most youthfully expressive wine in Chidaine’s current collection. With an ethereal aroma that alone is worth the price of a bottle, this fills the nostrils and imagination with myriad flowers, pit fruits, citrus, tropical fruits. Waxy rather than creamy in texture, and almost nobly rich in its honeyed way, with effusive ripe quince, banana and pink grapefruit tinged with salt and chalk, this cuvee finishes with purity, penetration, and remarkable persistence.”  Rating: 94 points
