The French Affair - A Bientot Pouilly Fuisse


“So much wine, so little time.”

- Anonymous 



When I went to Via Allegro in Toronto I found an excellent white wine. The Pouilly Fuisse has a very fruity taste. It’s low on tannins and tastes very fresh. The notes are of pear and apple. It’s a very fruity wine.


The Pouilly Fuisse is from Burgundy France. French wines, being old world wines have a knack for quality taste. 


Pairing Notes: Basa / Sole / Halibut or any other white fish and roasted chicken

Vistamar Cabernet Sauvignon

From Central Valley, Chile, comes a great cabernet called "Vistamar." I had Vistamar on my way from New York to North Carolina. I sat on the plane and thought I would have wine. Then I decided that I would try one of the cabernets. Vistamar comes from the Central Valley in Chile. I asked the air host what wines they serve. "We have a cabernet sauvignon and an sauvignon blanc he said." I said, "I'll try the cabernet sauvignon." "It's $7 please." "I'll give it to you when I get my bag out of the top cabin at the end of the flight. Is that ok?" Dave gave me the Vistamar and I tried it out. Here are my tasting notes: The aromas are earthy, oakly, and vanilla. The taste is that of fine wood and cherries. Overall Rating 7.5/10.

Tempranillo will never cease to exist. It comes from three regions: 1) Rioja, Spain, 2) Ribera Del Duero, Castilla y Leon, and 3) Walla Walla, Washington.
