Kansas City has had a real taste of summer this week, with temperatures in the mid to upper 90s. I've never been a huge fan of white wines, but this week definitely called for a beverage that was crisp, light and chilled. I made a stop on the way home and picked up 6... yes, 6... new whites I've never tried before. As I'm perusing the labels, I came across Menage รก Trois 2011. Since I like the red, might as well try the white, right? It didn't disappoint. It's a blend of 44% Chardonnay, 34% Moscato and 22% Chenin Blanc. On the nose are the aromas of minerals and grapefruit. The taste is peachy citrus, with a nice long finish. I'm a total sucker for anything peach. It has a nice balance of tart and sweet that will work well with fish and salads, even desserts, but is very nice on its own. Like its red counterpart, it's very affordable, around $12/bottle.
