Although not a pure play this wine contains Chardonnay and "Yellow Wine" made from the Savagnin grape (don't confuse it with Sauvignon) . It is called Vin Jaune and comes a small wine region in eastern France called the Jura. I found out about this grape back in 1998 and never thought I would get a chance to try it.
This grape is the specialty of the Jura and is grown almost no where else (although ironically it is grown in Ontario)
I review wines that are intended for Monday to Thursday casual consumption. These wines will most often not win any awards but will certainly be inexpensive drinkable and enjoyable to drink after a hard day at work.

A review from another country that is not known for wine production. Find out if this is an aberation or a sign of a bright future.

Great Wall Cabernet Sauvignon 2008
A look at a wine made by the Peoples Republic of China. It was one of the Official wines of the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Did they make a world class wine? Is it simply bad. Check out the review and see the SQ Weighted score I give it.

World Wine Review Sogrape Gazela Vinho Verde (Portugal)
A look at a nice light little "spritzer" from the wine region with the same name as the wine Vinho Verde
World Wine Review Argento Pinot Grigio 2008
This wine is from the Mendoza region of Argentina. The score I give is an SQ weighted score based on my SQ of Hypersensitive/sweet. This means that the score might be lower than a regular score given by a sensitive or tolerant taster but this is covered in the review

World Wine Review Lindemans 2008 Cawarra Semillon Chardonnay
The opening review of hopefully a series of International wines that are suitable for "Monday to Thursday" enjoyment. Wines that are drinkable and affordable and provide good value for the money.
The ratings are based from my evaluations which have an "SQ" of Sweet and Hypersensitive.
