Fouchet 2018 Muscadet Sevre & Maine l’Augellerie, Loire Valley, France (Jen & Jerry)
Thinking of seafood tonight? Consider a bottle of Muscadet, one of the best values from the Loire Valley. Muscadet is made from the Melon de Bourgogne grape and has long been produced as flavorless bulk white wine. However this nearly bone-dry bottling is bright with citrusy acidity and grounded with a stony minerality, and will work wonderfully with mussels, oysters, scallops or shrimp!

The Royal 2019 Chenin Blanc, Swartland, South Africa (Andres)
Uncomplicated yet delicious, this every day wine offers up lots of guava, melon and gooseberry fruit notes and fresh, crisp acidity.

Buena Vista 2017 Chardonnay, Carneros, California (Aron)
With a history dating back to 1857, this winery has a colorful past, most recently falling under the guidance of Jean-Charles Boisset. Cold winter evenings would benefit from a glass of this full-bodied, lush and round Chardonnay, rich with apple, pear and baked pineapple notes. Barrel fermentation followed by 12 months aging in French and Hungarian oak make for a toasty, nutty finish which will stand up to hearty roasted chicken, creamy soups, or lobster.

Alain Jaume 2016 La Butte d’Or St Joseph, France (Tim)
This red is made from 100% Syrah planted to granite and marl soils on hillsides facing southeast in the St. Joseph appellation of Northern Rhone. St-Joseph wines were favored by Louis XII (1498-1515), who owned a vineyard there called Clos de Touron. St. Joseph and Northern Rhone in general has a continental climate with cold wet winters marked by mistral winds, as opposed to the Mediterranean climate in the better-known Southern Rhone region. The nose on this red shows pepper and jammy red fruits, while the palate is full-bodied and intense with medium tannins and a long finish. Try with hearty comfort foods such as beef stew or leg of lamb.
