Greetings from Vintage Connections!  

This week's wine tips!

Le Bois Martin Touraine Sauvignon Blanc 2008

  .   This wine from the Loire Valley in France is made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc grapes.  It is medium-bodied with mineral aromas and flavors of grapefruit and new-mown grass.  Great when paired with shrimp and chevre.  Alcohol is 13% by volume.  PLCB product code is 20602 and sells for $14.99 at a limited number of PA Wine and Spirit stores. 



Hob Nob Chardonnay 2007 

This 100% chardonnay comes from France.  Not what you would expect to look at the bottle.  It is light amber in color and is medium-bodied.  It has aromas of butterscotch and hazelnuts and is fruit-forward and only lightly oaky.  Alcohol is 13.5% by volume.  PLCB product code is 7794 and sells for $11.99 at most PA Wine and Spirit stores.
