Staff Pick Notes

Let's play a game... If I were to mention Sauternes, what's the first thing you'd think of? A) The beautiful dessert wine made from grapes afflicted by the "noble rot" B) A picturesque little village nestled in the Southern corner of the Bordeaux Appelation C) An awesome, bone dry Sauvignon Blanc/Semillon blend Answers A, B and C are all correct!
