The grape variety that is responsible for Picpoul de Pinet from the Languedoc region of southwestern France has found a welcome home in Texas. Andy Timmons and his nephew, Andrew Sides of Lost Draw Cellars, have created this beautiful example with its bright yellow color and floral, peachy, orange zest aromas. It is crisp and zesty in the mouth with round, ripe Meyer lemon and white peach flavors with saline mineral notes. It is perfect for taking the edge off a warm summer day by the pool or with a light dinner of a Salade Niçoise.
