Qupé Bien Nacido Cuvée (Santa Maria Valley) 2013

It was still too hot to cook tonight, so I went with another no cook salad and a crisp white wine. To wit, the 2013 Qupé Bien Nacido Cuvée and Fattoush (Pita Bread Salad With Tomatoes And Cucumber) from a Cook's Illustrated recipe. The Qupé Bien Nacido Cuvée is a 50/50 blend of Viognier and Chardonnay. 13% alcohol. Pale yellow. Bright fresh apricot, peach, and pear notes. Refreshing. Grade: 88
