Although my site is mainly dedicated to great wines for $20 or less, I have to talk about any great wine I come across, even if it supersedes my “No more than $20 for everyday wine” motto. I will have to start a new category. Maybe I will call it “Good Stuff That Doesn’t Fall into the Everyday Wine Category”.
First up is a wine from a collection I represent. Introducing the JCB Collection from Jean-Charles Boisset of Boisset Family Estates. Each of the wines in this collection are named by a number that represents a significant time in the life of proprietor, Jean-Charles.The JCB No.7 came to me in the November Circle of Boisset Wine Club shipment and I could not wait to try it. I have become such a Pinot girl over the past year or so. This wine, upon first taste, is for sure a favorite. It definitely won’t be in my “Everyday Wine” category with the $50 price tag, but it is worth having a bottle or two on hand for sure.

Varietal: 100% Pinot Noir
Vintage: 2012
Alcohol: 14.5%

The No.7 for this wine represents the age Jean-Charles was when he had his first encounter with wine after one of his parents’ dinner parties. It would set the tone for his life-long passion for great wine.
This wine is definitely one you don’t want to miss out on. To order it, visit my website www.boissetwineliving.com/missmagnolia. Save 20% on your order by joining the Circle of Boisset Wine Club.
