I reccomended Apremont wine from France -Jacquere grape



I missed Borgo's response which was"

"You just stopped me in my tracks. As a culinary student, I spent a good amount of time in the Haute-Savoie studying their terroir. I loved the beautiful lake town of Annecy, and the spectacular mineral water from Thonon-les-Bains. I drank many a bottle of Apremont and Chignin right in the caves of the wine producer. The dry, flinty nature of Apremont is a unique experience and a result of their soil. I brought back several bottles from France, but have always had difficulty locating it here on either coast."
