April 24

Another sign of summer. About 10 years ago a woman comes in the store and asks if I can get her a wine she had in a fancy eatery in NYC. They charged her $14 a glass and she was willing to spend up to $30 a bottle for it. It took a couple of weeks but I tracked the wine down and at the time it sold for $7.99 a bottle. Since then the wine has gone up to $9.99 a bottle, it is a staple in the store and we sell out every year right around Labor Day.

It just came in today.

Les Rials Loin de l'Oeil 2009 is a light crisp off-dry white wine that is just delightful. Need a bottle to go to someone's house? this works. Need a bottle for the back porch when it is just too hot? This works. Need a bottle with summer salads? This works.

It's somewhere from the south of France. It's cheap. It's delicious. Chill it up, open it up, and have some fun.
