How wrong can you go when you see a Loire Valley wine priced under $10 (before tax) at a local store?
You pick a couple bottles.
With Les Castines (2009) you get a red 100% Cabernet Franc grown on clay and limestone soil with dark fruits flavors and a well rounded personality.
Enjoy with venisson, meats straight off the grill and cheese like Reblochon.
Another thing Loire Valley wines have going for them is their low alcohol level, in this case 12,5%
Try Les Castines if you see it gracing the shelves of your local shop.
Sante!
