One of the wines in a recent sampler case from importer Kermit Lynch<\/a> was the Domaine du Salvard, Cheverny. <\/a><\/p>\n

We love wines from the Loire, as a rule. This one is 85% Sauvignon Blanc and 15% Chardonnay. The folks at Kermit Lynch say, "We continue to tout the domaine\u2019s wine as one of the greatest values for Sauvignon Blanc perfection." They use words like simple and elegant to describe it. We agree and we applaud the blend. The Chardonnay moderates the grapefruit quality of the Savignon Blanc.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s more, this \u201cmeant-for-each-other\u201d marriage of grapes graciously enhanced our main course\u2013 pan-fried (breaded) fish. A side of goat cheese drizzled with olive oil went well with this Cheverney\u2019s acidity. We did go to Provence to add some olives and Herbes de Provence, and they were all nice neighbors and played well together.<\/p>\n

When we see this label, we know we have a treat in store.<\/span><\/p>\n

And, while the front label is important, we've learned to look at the back label to see who brought the wine into this country. We've developed a list of favorite importers that we trust to supply us with wines we'll love. Kermit Lynch is one of them and we'll tell you more about him soon.<\/p>\n
