Ask a seasoned wine veteran what they are drinking at home, and chances are they will tell you French wine. It's hard to beat the quality, subtlety, balance, and sheer unpretentious class of these vin de terroir wines from the French countryside. Come taste what we are talking about this weekend at The Wine Cabinet in Reston from 1-5! We are pouring 3 stellar French wines-one from the Loire, 2 from Provence (and one devil's advocate Sonoma Cab for good measure!)
