Welcome to Pickford's!

When you come by Pickford's tomorrow Wednesday, February 25th for some Fresh Seafood. Please take a moment and try a100% Semillon.

What is Semillon Wine?

Semillon is a white wine produced from the grape variety of the same name. It's most frequently associated with the whites wines of Bordeaux, where it is generally blended with Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle. Many of the great sweet wines of Sauternes also rely on Semillon as part of their blend. Semillon also shines as a varietally labeled wine, especially in South Africa and Australia, though there are also notable ones produced on the North Fork of Long Island and California.

‍

Semillon typically shows notes of stone fruit like apricots, orchard fruit along the lines of pears and apples, and occasional hints of herbs or white licorice. When botrytized (that is, affected by the botrytis cinerea fungus that dehydrates the individual grapes, changes their flavors and aromas, and is the key to many of the greatest sweet wines of the world like Sauternes), aromas and flavors of honey, ripe tropical fruit, and occasionally honeysuckle emerge. Its often waxy texture rewards drinking at a slightly less-cold temperature than lighter-textured white wines such as Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Grigio, and even when blended with Sauvignon Blanc, the subtle sense of richness it adds makes the wine shine even more brightly after it's been in the glass for a few minutes. Semillon is best enjoyed from a standard white wine or universal glass.

‍

Pickford has found a great Semillon. All I ask is for you to try it, and try to tell us where I purchased it? Also this delicious wine is retailing for $14.99 a bottle!! Semillon pairs beautifully with a variety of seafood dishes due to its refreshing acidity and minerality.

Miss you Dad
