Catherine and Pierre affectionately liken this delicate, springtime red to a "cabernet franc carried by a sea breeze." Abundant in fresh fruit and low on tannins, the wine's name cleverly references the maritime warning "Avis de Vent Fort," which translates to "Strong Winds Warning." This playful twist on words conjures the notion that when the weather turns unfavorable, it's better to return to shore and savor a glass of wine instead.
