Regis Minet's chiseled, handsome, movie-star looks are further complemented by his ever-present smile and free spirit. Reminiscent of James Dean, yet with a positive outlook on life, Minet produces wine in order to fund his real love - traveling, working on his antique car, and riding motorcycles throughout the western United States.This wine (produced from 15 to 18 year old vines and vinified in stainless-steel tanks) has lemon drops and tangy citrus notes on the nose and a racy, smoky, medium-bodied, mineral, spice, and citrus zest-packed personality. This fresh and vibrant wine should be consumed by 2000.Importer: Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant, Berkeley, CA; tel (510) 524-1524. (Reviewed by P. A. Rovani)
