As a wine writer and wine lover, I attend a variety of events and get to try a number of wines from all over the world as well as some pretty amazing food. For those reviews visit my website : https://michaelpinkuswinereview.com/ ...

This was an absolute delight of a wine I tasted in the Loire Valley, right at the winery
Domaine des Galloires 2021 Les Chailloux
Domaine Des Galloires 2021 Les Chailloux Fresh, lively, good acidity, lemon/lime, bright, hint of melon - stony/salty quality, perfect with oysters. (****)
It's one of those little known grapes, but this one has quite the following :
Malivoire 2021 Melon
--- THE WRITTEN REVIEW ---
Malivoire has been making, and selling out of, Melon for over 20 years; and now to alleviate those demands for more, they've planted more Melon de Bourgogne. This is 64% estate fruit and 36% from winemaker's Shiraz Mottiar's eponymously named vineyard. The aromas are a real winner and they match the palate: melon (perfect for this wine), pear, mineral-floral with fresh acidity that allows the wine to linger with a stony finish. Another winner Melon, and having just come back from the Loire, I can tell you this bottle is truly on-point. (****)
