For the price, this Sterling Vintner’s Collection 2007 Sauvignon Blanc Central Coast ($9) is a decent little wine! With juicy melon, peach and citrus aromas and flavors that stay fresh (and never get flabby!) through the moderate finish. Ready to drink now. Locate this wine online or in your area.

Food pairing: Honestly, this one works best well-chilled, pre-dinner, with some easy appetizers or salty nibbly somethings. A handful of roasted peanuts would suit me fine!
