lagilmanon Ch du Plessis Muscadet Sevre et Main sur lie 2007
A delicate pale yellow-green color, so clear the light practically danced in the glass. The nose was also very clean, with a whiff of ripe pear [imagine the lingering scent of a pleasant skin toner]. The taste is faintly fizzy and acidic, like pear cider. If they made pear-ade, it might taste like this. A hint of grass on the finish. Went nicely with a dill mustard chicken breast, but I think this would really shine with the heartiness of a chicken stew, or shellfish.
Best of all? $11.99 in midtown Manhattan. I suspect you could find it elsewhere for under $10 (I wouldn't pay much more -- it's very good at that price but not at $15+)
(aside for geekiness: 'batonnage' is one of those words you just fall in love with....or I do, anyway.)
This morning the felines woke me up at 5:30am. No, I don't know why either. And I'm out of coffee. Just waiting until the local place opens so I can actually get the brain started again. Tea isn't going to cut it, today.
EtA: local bakery FTW, coffee-wise.
