2021 Vacqueyras “Un Sang Blanc”
Domaine Le Sang des Cailloux
This blanc opens with all the lusciousness you might expect from a Rhône Valley white blend, evoking melon, peach, and chamomile, but it finishes with a refreshing and zesty citrus note that makes it an outstanding bottle to serve alongside all kinds of seafood or fresh cheeses.

When buying red Burgundy, I think we should remember:
1. Big wines do not age better than light wine.
2. A so-called great vintage at the outset does not guarantee a great vintage for the duration.
3. A so-called off vintage at the outset does not mean the wines do not have a brilliant future ahead of them.
4. Red Burgundy should not taste like Guigal Côte-Rôtie, even if most wine writers wish it would.
5. Don’t follow leaders; watch yer parking meters.
