Who knew Muscadet could be so different/interesting? Also Chinon Blanc & Viognier/Condrieu. Great tasting with Chris Groenewald for our group.

This may just disappear in a jiffy seeing as it is utterly delicious. One of my favourite Syrah wines from South Africa, by Sons of Sugarland. So Rhône-like with its graphite, spicy, smoky and bramble fruit profile and lively acidity. #syrah #sonsofsugarland #stellenbosch
