Tonight I’m making poulet sautè aux herbes de Provence, and the major ingredient is white wine, so I picked up something French in my Freshdirect shoppings! Nearly half the bottle went into the pot, and the rest is going into a glass and into my belly.

This is very interesting and kind of complex. The scent has a fruity, floral hit at first, and then when I really stick my nose deep in the glass, I got the smell of apples. The first sip was explosive and odd; this has more alcohol content than most wines I’ve been drinking lately, so I can feel my tongue pucker from it. It’s really quite pleasing. Upfront it’s a little sweet and citrusy, but in the aftermath there’s some grassiness, something woody. …I feel like I’m just using all my wine words I know here, but this is a really interesting wine that keeps me sipping and going “Hmm. Hmm! Hmm.”

It was also very good in the chicken. I mean! Poulet!

BUY IT AGAIN: Yes, so I can drink a whole bottle and figure out these flavors.
