Loire Valley Deliciousness

Why I love the Loire:

1) Interesting, food-friendly whites (Pouilly-Fume, Muscadet Sevre et Maine) ;
2) Light, user-friendly reds (like Chinon, their Cab Franc that is just outstanding with a light chill during the summer months);
3) Delicious Cremant de Loire; my favorite these days is still Baumard "Turquoise" (my go-to choice when eating oysters at Neptune Oyster in the North End).

In short, this region provides the opportunity for great wine at reasonable prices!

So I was very, very pleased to be invited to the trade tasting of the Loire Valley's offerings at the end of this month. What a great way to close my summer.
