Chateau De Montfort Vouvray 2005 and 2006

My cousin Mark introduced this wine to me at McCormick and Shmicks seafood restaurant in Houston. It is a sweet, white wine. I learned that a Vouvray is a French Bridle wine, which I am not sure what that has to do with anything. It is similar in “sweetness” to a Riesling, though not quite as crisp. I recall it being a little flatter, but that isn’t necessarily a bad thing. It is a great wine to have with seafood or also by itself. I have also enjoyed it with pork. Not that anyone cares. I could also see it being a great wine to complement a light dessert, as it isn’t too overpowering.
