Hmm… let’s see what Mr. Dunnuck has to say…
“Mostly Clairette, the 2022 Ventoux Les Ribes Du Vallat Blanc has some pear and apple-laced fruit to go with beautiful sappy herbal, floral, and mineral aromas and flavors. Balanced, medium-bodied, vibrant, and fresh, it's a beautiful white to drink over the coming 2-3 years.”
Well, that is a non-descript… um… description. (where’s that thesaurus?)
The thing is… do you really need more? Sometimes we, myself included, get caught up in trying to find explosive words and flowery adjectives to describe a wine. I think… and you absolutely care what I think… that many times we just need to dive into the entire experience – the food, the culture, etc… and just drink the darn wine!
So, for inspiration, let’s head down the road from Chateau Juvenal to the Bistrot l’entrepotes. Tucked into the medieval town of Barroux in an old fruit and vegetable warehouse, this is a quintessential French countryside bistro. On the menu today:
Summer Truffle Pizza, Melon with Feta and Serrano Ham, Vegetable Salad with Squid and Citrus fruits, Seafood Risotto and more.
Now check out the environs…
Right? Who needs a long-winded description of the wine. Just walk right in, order some melon and whatever wine they recommend! Which, I imagine, would be this one.
And there ya go… your inspiration for Sunday dinner!
