Bon jour! This weekend at the Zin, lovely Laura Moore is back as our guest sommelier! Per her request, our tasting this weekend will take us to France. Oui, ... All French wines this weekend.When is the last time you sampled something from the famous wine country? Lets talk terrior!
on to France.............

Trimbach 2005 Reserve Pinot Gris
Pale yellow-straw color. Ripe aromas of stone fruits, smoke, butter and honey; this smells like pinot gris! Ripe,fat and easygoing, with a lovely hint of sweetness. This virtually has the weight of chardonnay but is perked up by harmonious,ripe acidity. A Pinot Gris from the Alsace region (and while we're on the subject a Gewurztraminer) should be on your "wine bucket list."
Marc Bredif 2007 Vouvray
The Loire is France's third largest producer of wine and its the leading producer of white wines. (It is also France's leading producer of AOC sparkling wines - who knew?) But here is the key statistic - only 20% of production is exported, with 40% shipped to the U.K. and 20% sent to Belgium (mussels?). This leaves only 8% of Loire wine ever having a chance to make it to North America. Vouvray is most famous for the Chenin Blanc, this one is delicious...off dry, heavy minerals and perfect acidity!
Delas Saint Espirit 2007 Cotes Du Rhone
The wine spectator said this wine is "Soft and friendly, with red and black cherry fruit laced with a subtle grilled herb note. An easygoing bistro wine." The Côtes-du-Rhône Saint Esprit is made from a blend of Syrah and Grenache.
Clos De L'Oratoire Chateauneuf Des Papes 2006
91 points Wine Spectator: "Deliciously ripe, with plump-textured plum sauce, fig and red currant fruit flavors backed by bright minerality and shades of vanilla, cedar and cocoa. Underlying juiciness rides throughout. Drink now through 2018."Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre, and Cinsault. Founded in 1859, the Ogier wine company is located in the largest and oldest cellars of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, the village that was once chosen as a summer residence of the papacy during the 14th century. A unique feature in the heart of the vineyards gives the property its name: an oratory, a place of prayer. Erected in the 18th century and dedicated to Saint Marc, the patron saint of winegrowers, it is believed to help protect the vineyards from storms.
Clos De Nouys 2003 Vouvray
Dessert wine to be desired! The Clos de Nouys is a twenty-five acre estate within the Vouvray appellation of the Loire Valley, consisting of vines averaging thirty-five years old. This is one of the oldest wine-making estates in the AOC area: its wines were served on the Normandy transatlantic liner in 1936 and its parcels of vines were already listed amongst the best sites on the 1907 geological maps. Clos de Nouys, Vouvray Grains Adore, sports a Complex nose, with white flowers and candied citrus fruits aromas, together with notes of vanilla and honey. A delicious dessert wine, very liquorish, sweet, ideally serve as an aperitif, or with elegant and delicate desserts.
