Jean-Maurice Raffault, Chinon Blanc (Loire Valley, France) 2011

($17, The Country Vintner): The vast majority of wines from Chinon, likely more than 95%, are red, so you don’t see many on retailers’ shelves. If you see this one, buy it. Made from Chenin Blanc, it’s entirely dry with vibrant stone fruit-like nuances. A cutting edge balances its good weigh and makes it a perfect choice for highly flavored Indian or Asian food.
