Sips: Chardonnays that come alive when blended, plus a southern French “classic”

In case you missed my current “Weekend Wines” column on MSNBC.com, I’m linking here to my piece on Domaine Tariquet du Tariquet and how this winery in southwest France is making some exciting chardonnay-based blends. They’re good examples of what a large, commercial winery can do in the $10-$15 range. After I  wrote about these wines, I also tasted Tariquet’s 2010 Classic, a zippy blend of colombard and ugni blanc, which remains a top under-$10 quaffing white that is a must-have for warm-weather drinking and for fish and shellfish. Rating: VERY GOOD. Imported by Robert Kacher Selections, Washington, DC. Wines received as press samples.

    I love wine. My dad owns a wine business and I get to drink wine almost everyday. However, my teeth are getting yellowish and my dentist in Concord NC says it's because of drinking too much wine. I went to have a teeth whitening treatment and from that time on, I only drink wine occasionally.

    Well Maia it depends on what type of wine you frequent drinking. My dentist madison tn have advised that most of the time, red wine is the culprit as far as maintaining a sparkling white smile is concerned.
