LA VIEILLE FERME BLANC
 2013
FRANCE

By:  Ed "The Wine Guy"

Translated as The Old Farm, this is a white Rhone wine. Many of you are already familiar with the red version; the white is equally satisfying. It's an inexpensive ($7.99), unpretentious but delicious, fresh-tasting, everyday wine, crisp and dry (fruity, but not sweet), exhibiting aromas and flavors of peach, melon, and nut. Serve as an aperitif or with a simple meal of fish or chicken. It pairs very well with lobster salad.
