Weekend Wine... Chateau Le Bost, Bergerac Sec

I had a party recently. I like parties, and I want to treat my guests well: after all, they've trekked for many miles to my isolated home in the wilderness. So I opened a bunch of relatively fancy wines and... you know, people weren't really there to analyze wine. They wanted to sip and socialize and eat, to have a good time freed from anything approaching pretension. This sustainably-farmed white from southwestern France should have been at my party, probably in case quantity. It's so invigorating, sunny and lemony and great for simply enjoying, whether at dinner with salads and grilled seafood, or as a "house wine" for raucous social events.
The Wine... Chateau Le Bost is a great white for seafood courses, or for simply drinking as a refreshing pre-dinner apertif. Fermented in stainless steel, the wine tastes fresh and lively. It grows on steep clay-limestone slopes high above the Dordogne river. Fans of white Bordeaux will find a lot of happiness in this bottle.
