Domaine de la Tourmaline, Muscadet Sèvre-et-Maine Sur Lie (Loire Valley, France) 2013

($12, Cognac One): Open the trunk of your car and load in a case of this wine to combat the heat and humidity of August.  As expected from Muscadet, it is bright and fresh with an almost prickly acidity that is truly mouth cleansing.  Unexpectedly, it has more weight and body than many Muscadet, which makes it a great choice for steamed clams or simply grilled fish.  An unbelievable value. 90 Michael Apstein Aug 12, 2014
