It's going to be a cool and rainy Memorial Day weekend here in the Northeast–boooo! So I'll spare you the dummer quaffers and hit you with something structured yet fun and gulpable at the same time: Sunier, Fleurie, 2011.

What's happening to the wine blog world? Attrition. It reminds me of my college classes.
