<H1>Trou de Bonde 2006 Grenache Blanc -- SidewaysWineClub.com Shopping Cart</H1> <B>$20.00</B> <P> <IMG SRC="https://store.nexternal.com/sideways/images/TrouDeBonde_grenache%20Blanc.jpg" WIDTH=175 ALIGN=right ALT="Trou de Bonde 2006 Grenache Blanc" NAME="Trou de Bonde 2006 Grenache Blanc" BORDER=0 HSPACE=10> <font face=arial><font size=3> <B><U>The Wine</b></u> <br>With its modest alcohol (14.1%) and crisp, mouth-watering acidity (pH = 3.14!), this wine is vibrant and fresh with pure varietal character. <P>On the nose, look for bright green apple, floral orange blossoms and white peaches. Texturally it&#8217;s similar to Viognier, but with clean Granny Smith Apple flavors, mineral complexity and a touch of peach. This wine finishes with a clean, crisp, fresh fruit taste and a perfect acid balance. <P><B><U>Food Pairings</b></u> <br>This wine plays well with a range of light dishes. In the cheese department, its crisp acidity begs for a fromage of similar character &#8211; try a good goat cheese / Ch&#232;vre. <P>Cheers! <br>Dave the Wine Merchant</P> <P> <LI>SKU: TDB-GB-06 </P> <P><B>Other products in the category <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/sideways/Category2" TITLE="All Wines (alphabetically)">All Wines (alphabetically)</A>:</B> <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/sideways/Product796 TITLE="Adelaida Cellars, 2004 Reserve Cabernet, Viking Estate Vineyard">Adelaida Cellars, 2004 Reserve Cabernet, Viking Estate Vineyard</A> -- The wine that is the jewel in the portfolio of Adelaida Cellars, from Paso Robles famed West Side <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/sideways/Product744 TITLE="Adelaida Cellars, 2005 &quot;Schoolhouse Crush&quot; (Red Rhone Blend)">Adelaida Cellars, 2005 "Schoolhouse Crush" (Red Rhone Blend)</A> -- The classic red blend from the South of France.
