Today we look at a French white wine. Seven dollars at Total Wine.
If you get excited about great food.
If you get excited about delicious wine.
If you like a bargain, but you love an extreme bargain — then it’s time to discover Les Martinieres. Drive to Total Wine, and get two bottles. You’ll pay $14. But it will be worth $50.
That is correct. Les Martinieres white table wine is worth $25 a bottle. It sells for $7. I have never recommended a wine this strongly. I’ve never been this EXCITED about a wine, in light of its price. I’ve never been so flat-out amazed by the value of any wine — no, any THING. I owe this discovery to That Girl (somebody please tell her to recommend more white wines!)
This wine — you know, it makes me want to SHOUT. It’s like a citrusy sauvignon blanc, combined with a minerally, South African chardonnay. It does nothing wrong. Crisp. Tart. Perfect with food. BAM.
Highly recommended, and a huge, flagrant, screaming Best Buy.

Oh, the pressure!! It is a tres chic wine. I’m glad you like it. I may have some this weekend. Yum!
Ahhh, you forgot to mention one thing…in this day of overwhelming, over-extracted 14% plus wines (yes, whites too) Les Martinieres weighs in at 11.5% alcohol. That means you and your favorite friend can drink a bottle before dinner, have another with lobster, cracked crab or shellfish and still be able to get up from the table and talk coherently. This is definitely a food wine and will pair wonderfully with any light seafood or Asian food. Hmmm, thinking I might look for some Blue Points or Kumamotos this weekend.
