History

Percheron is a breed of muscular draft horse used for pulling heavy loads which originated in France's Huisne River valley, part of the former Perche province, from which the horse takes its name. Percheron is also the brand name of the South African Chenin Blanc and Viognier wine I used when I created this cocktail in November 2024.

To be honest, we had low expectations here since the recipe looked a bit algorithmic. But we were wrong. It's really beautifully balanced and there is more than ample complexity. We went with a green olive garnish...perfect. Bravo to our good host. btw we are big fans of South African Chenin Blanc. If you can lay your hands on a bottle of De Morgenzon Reserve, you won't be disappointed.
