Waterford Estate Pecan Stream Chenin Blanc
You would expect a wine from an estate named Waterford to be elegant, artistic, and exquisitely crafted. In the case of this month’s white wine selection, you’d be absolutely right. Its crisp fruit flavor is beautifully elevated with the inclusion of chardonnay and viognier grapes. Much like the estate’s majestic fountain captures the glint of sunbeams, this wine shimmers with light and life.

Brotte Tavel Les Eglantiers Rosé
The French village of Tavel was nicknamed “The King of Rosés” by the famous 19th century French novelist, Balzac. And for two regal reasons. First, only rosé wines are legally permitted to be produced there. Second, it’s France’s oldest rosé appellation. The result is a stunning wine that may inspire your own literary talents!
