d'arricaud white bordeaux

This D'Arricaud had an excellent crisp and steely lemony flavor. An excellent accompaniment to the fried calamari Keel and I treated ourselves to for starters on the night Frites calls Mussel Madness. Frites is a French bistro that sits down on the river in Vail Valley, technically in Edwards. We sat on the patio watching the sun set, trying the variations on the typical mussels plate with this bottle to make it all better. We paid $33 for the bottle, which is about as good as you'll get with the damn standard wine markup. If the meal is good too, who's going to complain? Not me. This is the best local restaurant we've enjoyed so far. An excellent interior atmosphere for Edwards, Colorado, which is not readily apparent from the poor choice of design on the outside. No matter, once inside Frites I'm happy.
