2008 Saint-Veran White Burgundy

I’m back!  I know what you are thinking – it’s about time.  That was quite a hiatus – a whole year.  You got to be kidding!  Oh well, people get busy and then decide it’s time to get back to the basics – like writing about wine and food.   So here, I am!

After a fun filled week of drinking some pretty good wine and spending it with our great friend and co-website founder, Dr. Michael Waring, I decided it was time to get back in the saddle again and write some posts.  So, I am ending this week of debauchery with a lovely white Chardonnay from Burgundy — a 2008 Saint-Veran Cuvee Prestige produced by Roger Lassarat.  It’s a bit tart with a crisp mineral finish and a hint of apples.  It has a beautiful gold color and is rated 89 by Wine Enthusiast.  A bottle runs about $22-$25 depending on your purveyor.  I would recommend it with a shellfish dish or a goat cheese and tomato tart for a perfect accompaniment to a light summer meal.

Salud & Bon Appetit!
