NV Clairette de Die “Tradition”
Achard-VincentAt seven degrees alcohol, the Tradition is made with Muscat and Clairette grapes. It is vinified following the ancient local tradition. It is a festive wine. You coulda watched the Super Bowl with it, some popcorn (tossed with olive oil, salt, and dried thyme), and your pals.

I want you to realize once and for all: Even the winemaker does not know what aging is going to do to a new vintage; Robert Parker does not know; I do not know. We all make educated (hopefully) guesses about what the future will bring, but guesses they are. And one of the pleasures of a wine cellar is the opportunity it provides for you to witness the evolution of your various selections. Living wines have ups and downs just as people do, periods of glory and dog days, too. If wine did not remind me of real life, I would not care about it so much.
