The wine has a surprisingly rich coral hue with immediate aromas of strawberry. Its delightful juicy berry taste with hints of apple and melon sports a slight sweetness.
Mt. Beautiful's 2016 Chardonnay was next in our glasses. This $21.99 wine is complex and well-balanced with a lingering finish. I thought it paired wonderfully with both the triple crème and the quiche.
This wine is very food friendly and a perfect accompaniment to triple crème Brie, fresh berries and the smoked salmon and the lemon crème fraîche finger sandwiches Sue and Todd brought.
This wine offered plenty of citrus on the nose, mostly lime and was mineral on the palate. It proved quite food friendly and was wonderful with the St. Géric blue-veined triple crème from Fromagerie Guilloteau.
