The view from Punta Crena Liguria, Italy
You have that fresh seafood from the market or maybe you caught it yourself, a little olive oil, salt, pepper and perhaps some fresh herbs. The mesquite charcoal is poppin' ready to go.
We have three rules when selecting a wine for this experience;
1) The vineyards must have a view of the "source", that being a body of water (see the view above)
2) There must be at least 1,000yrs of experience with fish and wine.
3) No oak, please
Please join us this Saturday

2011 PUNTA CRENA PIGATO, LIGURIA
(Actually Riviera Ligure di Ponente)
Pigato is the grape and it passes all 3 rules, this is a rare and delightful wine with a lilting perfume of bosq pear and almond. Versatile and delightful. 2010 CLOS ST MAGDELEINE, CASSIS
The quintessential coastal wine! Marsanne, Clairette and Ugni Blanc, the region has been under vine since the Phoenicians in the 6c BC. and as you see Clos St Magdeleine also qualifies for the view  the incomparable Clos St Magdeleine
2011 DOMAINE ABBATUCCI, AJACCIO CORSICAAncient, indigenous, organic. There is a sense of finely tuned fruit laced with a sea breeze. Vermintinu sourced decades ago from elderly peasant farmers.  The port of Ajaccio, Corsica *******************
