Lively Minerality, Lemon Zest And Apple - As Only A TRUE Chablis Can Offer

May sound odd, but I'm tasting this lovely William Fevre Champs Royaux 2009 Chablis at room temperature.  I evaluate almost all my wines at room temp because this temperature gives a clearer picture of the wine, faults and all.  At tonight's dinner party, we will serve it much cooler to give the lively acidity and minerality room to shine.

Chablis is a region in France that produces amazing Chardonnay --.once the largest white wine import into the United States. Famous for flintiness, stoniness, razing acidity, and fruit, most Chablis are great food wines and this William Fevre is no exception (and extremely well-priced, under $20.)  Try it as an aperitif, with oysters, almost any shellfish (minus the butter sauce,) cheese, fish and chicken piccata.
