They seem to be affiliated with a "company" that teaches people how to set up "drop shipment" companies and search for customers by spamming the whole world. Further, I did a little more research into this matter. Thus, they are well aware what this is about. First of all, I forwarded one of those spam messages to ******* and reviewed it with her. Good morning! I did read that message from Splash Wines. My wife has been a long-time customer of ******************** and that doesn't seem to matter in this situation. We offered to correct the problem they could send our daughter the four bottles of red wine, and she could then return the white bottles back to them,but the company refused. We called Splash Wines on 1-5-22 with our ******. Our online order was specific as two boxes of 15 bottles of wine, one box mixed and one box "All Red". So, our daughter was disappointed because "Splash Wines" had a convenience with packaging and shipping their order. ![]() These were two different Christmas gifts, so going off the info labels we assumed the smaller box was all red, but after we drove the package to PA from ****, when that box was opened, it wasn't 15 bottles of red but 12 bottles of mixed wine. We believe we received a 15 count box and a 12 count box and both mixed wines. When I called the business I asked if they had a 15 count box, they said yes, They said it was "Easier for them" to ship an 18 count box and a 12 count box with both mixed wines. When our order arrived there was a larger box and a smaller box. One box is mixed and one box was specifically ordered "All Red". Made from old vines and rested on the lees for at least eight months, this is excellent and another well worth its price tag.We ordered two boxes of wine, 15 bottles per box. Pale gold, streaked with pure, crisp lemon and tangerine but with some decent texture, a honeyed hint and long, dry finish. La Selection du Domaine Muscadet Sèvre-et-Maine sur lie, Domaine de la Bretonniere 2021, Loire, France A well-made muscadet, worth the bit extra. It’s from vines grown in granite soils, said to be beneficial to producing character in the wine. Zippy and fresh with crunchy green apples, just-ripe pears and a splash of grapefruit. La Chauviniere Muscadet Sèvre-et-Maine sur lie 2021, Loire, France ![]() One for fresh new season asparagus served simply with butter and lemon. The Society’s Muscadet Sèvre-et- Maine sur lie 2021, Loire, FranceĪ gem from The Wine Society: an easy-drinking, enjoyable light muscadet that majors on green apple peel, but has other notes of yeast, lemon, lime and mint. Its sheer perkiness and zest makes it a fine match for simple shellfish, especially mussels and oysters. Taste the Difference Muscadet Sèvre et Maine sur lie 2021, Loire, FranceĮxcellent own-label example, brightly fruity with a cocktail of mandarin oranges, green apples and pear. ![]() Maturity means this is richer in golden hue as well as in flavour, with baked apples and yellow plums and a toasty note. It’s interesting to try a rather more mature muscadet and find it so delicious. Try these.Ĭhateau de la Petite Giraudiere Muscadet Sèvre et Maine sur lie 2018, Loire, France The grape variety used is melon de Bourgogne, which as you may imagine, originated in Burgundy, eventually finding its home in the coastal western Loire where it stands up well to the relatively cold climate.ĭo try one of the bottles below in the next few weeks – not least because when I tasted through a range of muscadets, these five struck me as remarkably good value for money. It is thought to stem from the word for musky though this is not a characteristic I’ve ever noticed here. Grape geeks (and I am one) should know that muscadet isn’t the name of the grape used to make the wine nor is it a place. ![]() Go for one from a named sub-region – Muscadet Sèvre et Maine is the appellation for most of the better examples on our shelves, and the words “sur lie” on the label indicate the wine has been resting on its yeast sediment (lees) for some time to gain extra flavour. Basic muscadet, labelled simply with that word, can be disappointingly bland. There’s something about this wine’s vivacious, zesty style that really suits the greenness and youth of the season. Decent examples of this dry white from an area close to Nantes in the western Loire Valley have citrus freshness, a green-apple tang and a hint of yeast, perhaps a very light spritz.Īs well as making an ace partner for seafood, especially mussels (which is easy to remember since muscadet and mussels are rather similar words…), muscadet comes into its own with some of spring’s best dishes, such as purple sprouting broccoli, broad bean risotto and (hurrah!) fresh British asparagus. Choose carefully and muscadet can be a springtime joy.
