L'Ouche du Four Muscadet Sevre et Maine Sur Lie, Delaunay
Melon de Bourgogne
Focused, bright, white flowers, classic wine for oysters on the half shell (classic Muscadet pairing), or a seafood salad, or even clam linguine. $21
Pouilly Fumé, Domaine de Bel Air
Sauvignon Blanc
Signature smoky bloom, flinty, mineral, vibrant lemons, a Sancerre alternative that will pair nicely with a warm goat cheese salad, $31
Bourgogne Hauts Cotes de Beaune Rouge, Domaine Billard et Fils
Pinot Noir
The cool temps ask for a roast chicken and roast chicken often asks for burgundy. Billard's wine is a little racy with crushed blackberries, a waft of cherry wood smoke and some dried black currants on the palate. Perfect for an herb stuffed roast chicken $37
Pineau des Charentes Blanc, Brard-Blanchard
Ugni Blanc/Colombard
This 'mistelle' is a fortified wine made from Cognac eau-de-vie and fresh unfermented grapes. A traditional, regional dessert wine from western France where Cognac is from, this one is lower proof and offers a classic pairing for all things apple - pie, tart, cobbler. Balanced acidity, long caramel finish. A little like a glass of fall in the glass it is also perfect just sipping on. $39
