PWC met last night for a wine dinner on the theme of Loire wines. A couple of wines arrived late and missed out on the group photo above. We started with a sparkling wine which included the local grape Folle Blanche. The two white grapes of the Loire - Sauvignion Blanc and Chenin Blanc were represented by two wines each. As for reds, there was a Chinon, another Cabernet Franc as well as a red Grolleau, the latter a local red grape more often used in roses.
The highlights of the dinner include matching cheese and wine from the village of Chavignol, a 1971 Coteau du Layon from Domaine Touchais as well as a Coulee de Serrant, which I had opened the night before. These require separate posts to give them justice.
