($21, Michael Corso Selection): I love Vouvray.  My frustration with the wines is that it’s often difficult to tell the level of sweetness before pulling the cork.  Thankfully, this one, labeled Sec, accurately describes the wine.  It captures the tension — the steely dryness combined with a delicate fruitiness — that makes Vouvray so invigorating.  Its energy is both amplified and offset by a lacey fruity flowery aspect that the Chenin Blanc grape conveys.  A perfect summertime wine, it’s a great choice for roast pork this fall or the you-know-what at Thanksgiving.
