Tried a wine yesterday recommended by a good local merchant, Wine Cellars of Annapolis.

The maker is Philippe Portier and it's a varietal Sauvignon Blanc from Quincy. The label says White Loire Wine.

One of the best pure examples of Sauvignon I've tasted in a while. Very clean and fresh with balanced citrus and grassy notes, this 2005 vintage was reasonable at about $15 and delicious with a light shrimp scampi.

Man, you needed to save that for when the Wine Tag gets to the letter "Q." But perhaps at that time you'll have another Loire wine -- Quarts de Chaume.

Quincy wines present a very clean and pure representation of sauvignon blanc, and at a fraction of the increasing cost of Sancerre and Pouilly Fume.
