Les Perles Piquepoul Blanc 2009 (about $13)






About the Wine:  I have never tried this varietal before.  The Wikipedia entry on it says that it is a very acidic grape with a long history in France that includes near extinction due to a particularly nasty blight.  It is not widely cultivated, hence my ignorance of it.

About THIS Wine:  In the glass the wine is hay colored with a clear rim.  Citrus and cut grass blend in a pleasant nose.  The palate is very full with lemon and tangerine flavors that end in a citrus finish.

Drinking This Wine:  Les Perles is a little bit acidic for a sipping wine.  It would go well with grilled chicken.

Overall Impression:  I like the wine and the price.  This is a good value.
