Muscadet is a musky white wine that comes from the fertile Loire Valley in France. There are several types and Muscadet Sevre et Maine is supposedly the best of the muscadet varietal. It's crisp and refreshing and as it comes from a coastal region it has a sweet seaside saltiness that is comforting as we're stuck in landlocked Minnesota. We had it with sea bass which was good but it really seems like it was made to be eaten with clams, mussels, or crab. The brininess is balanced by a hint of sweet honeysuckle which adds a fragrant touch. One sip takes you to a calming afternoon on the porch of a seaside cottage in France.
the ideal meal: a chilled glass of Muscadet with moules frites.
