25$ at K&L. I was waiting for the right time to open this wine after it won the New York Times Sancerre tasting a few months back. So I figured Thanksgiving was as good a time as any. Neither Sarah or I go home anymore; we always cook dinner and then head up to Carmel the day after. Tonight we had chicken breasts with a tarragon sauce, portobello mushroom risotto, and green beans with caramelized red onions. This wine went great with all of them. It's excellent. Very nice nose of citrus and maybe just a touch of melon, with lots of minerality, and just a hint of greeness/grass. Once in the mouth, it's rich, with good acidity, nice citrus and melon flavors, and a nice stony finish. A
