twitterSavvy wine buy: Chateau Roumieu- Lacoste ‘97 Sauternes
Wednesday, Oct. 4, 2000 | 9:40 a.m.
Berkeley, Calif., wine importer Kermit Lynch practically revolutionized his industry back in the '70s, when he traveled to France and personally selected wines for the American market. His adventures are chronicled in an enjoyable book he wrote himself, "Adventures on the Wine Route." Lynch's latest coup is this 375-milliliter dessert wine, which shows all the legendary richness of a far more expensive Sauternes. The principal grape is Semillion, and the wine has lots of botrytis, spores that cause the sugar to concentrate and give Sauternes that special character.
Available at Lee's Discount Liquors, $14.99.
