Eric Asimov Top 10 Muscadets 

In this week's The Pour, Eric Asimov dives into one of my favorite topics: Muscadet. I couldn't be happier. Spoiler Alert: They are underrated and of great value. But seriously...they really are. It's kind of a joke in the wine world as to just how good a Muscadet can be for such an inexpensive price. More importantly, these have the reputation of being summer wines, but this has never made sense to me. As Eric shows this week, these are far from beach wines; they are substantive and serious food wines. Lucky for us, we have 8 of the 10.
