($16): It’s worth repeating: The Vouvray appellation is home to an array of fabulous under-valued white wines.  A major impediment to their more widespread popularity is the confusion regarding the level of sweetness.  And this wine is a perfect example.  The label reads “Demi-Sec,” which implies sweetness.  But it’s not really a sweet wine because electrifying acidity creates a wonderful tension and edginess.  Fruity… yes.  Sweet… no.   This is a great choice for flavorful dishes — either Asian influenced or something like fettuccine and pesto.  You’ll get a lot of enjoyment for the price.  Don’t miss it.
