The Wine Pig

I have featured a Cheverny once before as the Wine of the Week, but this one is just as delicious as the first, and no less worthy of its time in the spotlight.

85% Sauvignon Blanc, 15% Chardonnay, this Loire Valley white conjures up thoughts of grilled fish, shellfish, and perhaps a bowl of traditional bouillabaisse. Drink it on the hottest days of summer and enjoy the wine lover’s definition of refreshment.

The Dow Jones is below 12000, gas prices are above $4, foreclosures are at a record high. Wine is expensive, and that six-pack of Sierra Nevada is looking better and better. Easy there, before you start forgoing the corks for the hops, hear me out.

As a member of the wine industry, I see customers every day looking for the next great value in wine. Whether they typically purchase a $15 bottle and are now looking into the $10 selections, or perhaps just thinking of dialing back from that bottle of Silver Oak to something a bit more reasonable, everyone is looking to get a little more bang for their respective buck.

Here at The Wine Pig, my goal is to enlighten my visitors to the delicious wines that can be had for a fraction of their percieved value. I love to send a bottle of Lirac home with a Chateauneuf lover, or perhaps just a bottle of Prosecco for the Champagne fiend. No matter what your favorite wine is, there is something affordable that you can substitute with great success.

Is the wine industry recession-proof? Obviously only time will tell. But I believe that even the most price conscious wine lover can find satisfaction with a little research, a little experimentation, and just a little help from The Wine Pig.

Salute!

Kim Crawford, one of New Zealand’s most popular brands, keeps improving on its Chardonnay with every vintage. Bright, crisp and full of citrus and tropical fruit flavors, this wine has tons of the mouthwatering acidity that is expected from New Zealand white wine, but with the richness and full flavor that only Chardonnay can provide.
