Kudos to Rhett. He knows his wines.
2008 Mas Carlot Clairette ($9.99)
I have to give kudos to my associate Rhett Beiletti who has recently turned me on to a couple of great wines that I had not previously heard of. He continually finds great wines that are sometimes obscure yet always satisfying. The 2008 Mas Carlot from 100% Clairette grown in southern France is as fine a white wine as you will ever find for $10. It’s beautifully aromatic with mineral and citrus elements that ebb and flow. On the palate it is persistent, refreshing and delicious. Also check out Domaine d’Oupia’s 2007 Minervois. It is rich and full but also exhibits complexity and interest rarely found for the price. In fact I tell everyone it’s the best value red in B-21.
